You're right that it worked in 1.0 - but of course in 1.0 we would also end up with an arbitrary ordering between engines. For example you could have:Engine 1: Sys.path = C:\ Contains "Foo.dll" Engine 2: Sys.Path = D:\ Contains "Foo.dll" Which Foo.dll gets loaded? :) Unfortunately we don't necessarily know what engine is actually making the request. We can certainly go back to the 1.0 behavior in the mean time but I believe this will be truly fixed when we get better control over this in some future version of the CLR.
Unfortunately the current behaviour breaks certain Resolver One functionality. With IronPython 1 users could put assemblies their spreadsheet systems depended on in the same directory as the spreadsheet and it 'just worked', which isn't the case with the IronPython 2 port.
Even if it isn't always guaranteed to be correct, the old behaviour was much better for us. :-)
Thanks Michael

Hi, Having two engines in the same AppDomain causes interesting behaviour when trying trying to add references. Only the sys.path of the first engine that was created seems to be taken into account when calling clr.AddReference, the second sys.path is ignored. See http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=20921 for more details and a repro.
