To expose a whole namespace the simplest way is probably to call
scriptRuntime.LoadAssembly(some_assembly); All of the public types will then
be available for importing from IronPython. That means they won't all be
available at the top-level. If that's not ok you could use reflection and call
DynamicHelpers.GetPythonTypeFromType(...) and inject all the types you want.
As for interop the performance should be fine. When using dynamic from C# the
overhead should basically be similar to the overhead of calling a function
within Python. And for Python calling into C# the overhead is the same as any
Python code calling into any of the runtime - in other words pretty darn fast.
For a simple function call to a Python function last I measured I believe it
was around 40 instructions on x86 to perform the call.
For example on my laptop this runs in about 1/3 of a second and performs 10
million function calls:
import time
def f():
def g(): pass
for i in xrange(10000000):
g()
s = time.clock()
f()
e = time.clock()
print e - s
So what probably matters a lot more is what the function is doing.

Subject: [IronPython] Integration
Salut, fellow coders!
I have an application where i need some live coding to debug and use it. I've
been coding in C# for ages now.
I looked into different languages, and found python. And obviously fell in love.
Now i have a home-made interactive python console with my application. I
implemented suggestions with dir() and so on.
tldr:
The problem im facing is that I need to integrate whole application with the
console now. I know I can expose types and variables thru scope.SetVariable but
what I need is to expose a whole namespace to the scope.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. How fast is interop between python and C#? Would it be ok to have a python
function as dynamic in C# and calling it about 250 times a second?
Thanks,
Iivari Mokelainen
