What if you don't implement the interface explicitly? You have
IPerson.Name as the property name. That means that the object you need
to pass in to the IronPython MUST be an IPerson rather than any type
implementing IPerson. If you change it to just public string Name { }
instead, does that work?

>From an MSDN explicit interface tutorial

"A class that implements an interface can explicitly implement a
member of that interface. When a member is explicitly implemented, it
cannot be accessed through a class instance, but only through an
instance of the interface."

Which means you either need to not implement the interface explicitly
for that member, or you need to cast to IPerson before passing the
object in.

Thanks,
