This one is definite a bug - all the methods on array should always be visible. I've created work item 11971 for the issue (http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=11971). I've tentatively lumped it in 1.1.1 but having not looked at the issue I don't know how invasive the fix will be - but I suspect it will be fairly simple.

This one has bitten us and it would be very nice to have it fixed. Create a .NET array in one module and then use it in another module that hasn't imported clr (or System) and it will be stripped of its .NET methods and properties. Importing clr fixes the problem, but shouldn't be necessary (right?). To see this, create a module called 'createArray.py': from System import Array def CreateArray(): return Array.CreateInstance(int, 2, 2) Then use the module from another IronPython program. E.g. : from createArray import CreateArray array = CreateArray() print array.Rank This results in the following error: C:\>ipy testArray.py Traceback (most recent call last): File C:\testArray.py, line 4, in Initialize AttributeError: 'Array[int]' object has no attribute 'Rank' If you add an import clr to the program then it does the right thing...
