Yeah, I arrived at this yesterday after some experimentation :) I've since
dumped the idea of setting global variables (as it's obviously not thread
safe for multiple threads evaluating the same expression) and now generate
methods for the expression i.e.
For an expression: "Hello" + Message
I would end up generating
def generated_method_1(Message):
return "Hello" + Message
Then execute that against a newly created module, then evaluate
"generated_method_1", casting it to a PythonFunction and Call that
with the array of values that make up my context... works well now and suits
my needs perfectly as I can wrap up iron python to work with our standard
scripting interfaces.
When I no longer need these methods I set their value to None, but I'm
wondering if generating methods like this will incur overhead I can't get
back (ie. will my apps memory consumption just keep growing, until the
python engine itself is shut down?) It certainly seems a little like that
when I've been unit testing, but perhaps that's a side effect of the NUnit
environment?
