Hi Ross, Sorry if I'm being dense, but here's how I understand what you're doing:
- you're hosting IronPython in some program X - X will generate data D and somehow feed D to Python script Y - Y will transform or process D in some way What you're looking for is the best way to get D into Y, correct? I think creating a module is the wrong way to go about this; modules are supposed to contain code and constant data, as the IronPython engine will only load them once and share them. Why is setting a variable for the Python script to use not suitable? If it needs to be a complex object, you can create a (non-static) class in C#, fill it out, and pass an instance to the Python script using ScriptScope.SetVariable. - Jeff On Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 8:41 AM, Ross Hammermeister <glitc...@gmail.com> wrote: > My program creates data for a python script to use and I though the best way > for it get access to this was with modules.
