It was made after RevitPythonShell the first interactive python shell available in Revit by Daren Thomas. I will not discuss about Revit but about what pyRevit creator Ehsan Iran-Nejad brings into it. PyRevit is an open source (GP元) addin for Revit (proprietary BIM software). The goal is only to share some UI/UX inspirations from elsewhere. Making an UI for basic stuffs is piece of cake. You can concentrate on the tools/function you want/need to create. To help with the transition, there is a transition tool that will help migrate your python script from ironpython to Cpython.Wanted to point out some qualities of pyRevit which is in my opinion very welcoming for hackers. Ironpython remains the default python engine, but can be changed in the settings. As of the initial launch of Revit 2022, both ironpython and Cpython are installed as python engines and the engine used can vary within a single dynamo script (although that is not advised). This is HUGE for using python to access addition elements in the Revit API, as well as to handle more complex logic scenarios. One of the biggest things the Dynamo Core team has been working on is the transition from ironpython which limits python to version to 2.7 to Cpython which allows the use of python 3 syntax. This won't affect pyRevit the way I thought it would, Dynamo and pyRevit are independent of each other. I am assuming in the future it will drop IronPython. Revit 2022 comes with Dynamo that has IronPython and CPython, and recommends using CPython. Revit 2021 came with Dynamo and IronPython by default. Basically, the new Dynamo is transitioning from IronPython to CPython.

I saw this on a webinar and misunderstood it (I only used IronPython inside Dynamo). I am still wrapping my head around Revit API &.
