IronPython vs. Mako vs. RT-LAB vs. Wing Python IDE Comparison Chart

IronPython is an open-source implementation of the Python programming language which is tightly integrated with .NET. IronPython can use .NET and Python libraries, and other .NET languages can use Python code just as easily. Experience a more interactive .NET and Python development experience with Python Tools for Visual Studio. IronPython is an excellent addition to .NET, providing Python developers with the power of the .NET. Existing .NET developers can also use IronPython as a fast and expressive scripting language for embedding, testing, or writing a new application from scratch. The CLR is a great platform for creating programming languages, and the DLR makes it all the better for dynamic languages. Also, the .NET (base class library, presentation foundation, etc.) gives developers an amazing amount of functionality and power. IronPython uses Python syntax and standard libraries and so your Python code will need to be updated accordingly.

RT-LAB is OPAL-RT’s real-time simulation software combining performance and enhanced user experience. Fully integrated with MATLAB/Simulink®, RT-LAB offers the most complex model-based design for interaction with real-world environments. It provides the flexibility and scalability to achieve the most complex real-time simulation applications in the automotive, aerospace, power electronics, and power systems industries. Since its first application nearly 20 years ago on the Canadian Space Agency’s Canada Arm, RT-LAB has revolutionized the world of systems engineering, whether in space, on the ground or at sea. RT-LAB enables engineers and scientists to accelerate the development of new prototypes and to meet the most rigorous testing required by new and innovative technologies. RT-LAB handles everything, including code generation, with an easy-to-use interface. With just a few clicks of the mouse, a Simulink® model becomes an interactive real-time simulation application.
