You can use IronPython. I think there when you install it you get VS IDE support for it.

'Fraid I've never used Visual Studio, so can't really help with that.

That appears to work fine. I had to manually create the pictureflow.pyd.manifest file as it was missing - but that I can handle

Both the 'build' and 'develop' phases have now completed without error.

Please feel free to recode more elegantly (which I am sure is possible).

Added, thanks.
