[IronPython] pickling exceptions and differences between IronPython and cpython
Using the pickle modules from cpython to pickle built in exceptions fails under IronPython because IronPython adds a clsException attribute which pickle can't handle. And example is below. Should this be considered a bug? IronPython 1.0.60712 (Beta) on .NET 2.0.50727.42 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

[IronPython] Need help using IronPython from C#
I'd like to do the equivalent of something like...
import RemoteAdmin
ls = RemoteAdmin.ConnectToService("localhost","LogViewer")
numEntries = ls.GetNumberOfEntries()
e = ls.GetEntry(numEntries - 1)
entryString = str(e)
in C#.
So I get as far as
PythonEngine e = new PythonEngine();
# The RemoteAdmin module is in an assembly built using
IronPython.Hosting.Compiler and then referenced by the C# project
ClrModule clr = (ClrModule) e.Import("clr");
clr.AddReference(typeof(RemoteAdmin).Assembly)
e.Import("RemoteAdmin");
and then I'm lost.
Is there a way to make a delegate from a method that exists in the
PythonEngine environment and then call the delegate from C#?
I'm aware of the Evaluate and Execute methods of PythonEngine, but
I'm looking for a more direct way to call the python methods and
access python object attributes, rather than building up strings to
pass to Evaluate.
Thanks
- Jason

I think this is closer to what I want. I'm looking for clean way to
expose an API written in Python to a C# program.
So I can do
MyDelegate ConnectToService = (MyDelegate)
IronPython.Runtime.Operations.Ops.GetDelegate(e.Evaluate
("RemoteAdmin.ConnectToService"), typeof(MyDelegate));
and then...
object ls = ConnectToService("localhost","LogViewer");
but now how do I get to the methods and attributes of ls?

Ah. Thanks. This is what I needed. So to make a C# wrapper for a
Python class I should do something like...
class LogViewerService
{
public delegate int GetNumberOfEntriesDelegate();
public GetNumberOfEntriesDelegate GetNumberOfEntries;
public delegate object GetEntryDelegate(int entryNumber);
public GetEntryDelegate GetEntry;
public delegate void closeDelegate();
public closeDelegate close;
public LogViewerService(object pythonObject)
{
object method;
IronPython.Runtime.Operations.Ops.TryGetAttr
(pythonObject, IronPython.Runtime.SymbolTable.StringToId
("GetNumberOfEntries"), out method);
GetNumberOfEntries = (GetNumberOfEntriesDelegate)
IronPython.Runtime.Operations.Ops.GetDelegate(method, typeof
(GetNumberOfEntriesDelegate));
IronPython.Runtime.Operations.Ops.TryGetAttr
(pythonObject, IronPython.Runtime.SymbolTable.StringToId("GetEntry"),
out method);
GetEntry = (GetEntryDelegate)
IronPython.Runtime.Operations.Ops.GetDelegate(method, typeof
(GetEntryDelegate));
IronPython.Runtime.Operations.Ops.TryGetAttr
(pythonObject, IronPython.Runtime.SymbolTable.StringToId("close"),
out method);
close = (closeDelegate)
IronPython.Runtime.Operations.Ops.GetDelegate(method, typeof
(closeDelegate));
}
}

[IronPython] custom ConfigurationSection in IronPython
I want to write a custon ConfigurationSection in IronPython. So I try...
class MySettings(System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection):
# custom configuration stuff here
c = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration( \
System.Configuration.ConfigurationUserLevel.PerUserRoaming)
c.Sections.Add("mysettings",MySettings())ction
File System.Configuration, line unknown, in
GetConstructorWithReflectionPermis
sion
SystemError: Unable to load type
'IronPython.NewTypes.System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection_2,
snippets1, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'
because it is not public.
This happened even when the python code is compiled into an assembly.
Is there a way to make this work?
I saw a post that mentioned an experimental static type compiler.
Would I need to use that, and if so how?
Thanks.

Re: [IronPython] custom ConfigurationSection in IronPython
I have another related question. The "Item" property of
System.Configuration.ConfigurationElement (base class for
ConfigurationSection) doesn't seem to be accessible from IronPython.
Is this because its overloaded by parameter type? Is there a way to
access it from IronPython?
Thanks

Re: [IronPython] What PythonEngine called my C# code? (was: custom ConfigurationSection in IronPython)
In my case I'm looking to write assemblies in C# that makes use of modules defined in IronPython that others can use without having to know or care that they use IronPython (except for having to have the IronPython dlls around). Things are complicated by the fact that some of the modules used need to have a single global environment. If C# assemblies A and B both use IronPython assembly C, A and B need to use the same PythonEngine or things won't work right. And if A and B are being used from IronPython, then they need to use the PythonEngine of the caller. So I guess I need some sort of magic that when a call is made into the assembly it looks back up the call stack to see if there is a PythonEngine, and if so uses that one. If not create its own and then keep that one around for the next time the assembly is entered without a PythonEngine in the call stack.
