Using Python Classes from .NET (c

How to use IronPython hosting in c# to access methods in an IronPython class (this is for IronPython 2.6 and .Net 2.0).

Create a c# program like this:

using System; using IronPython.Hosting; using Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting; // we get access to Action and Func on .Net 2.0 using Microsoft.Scripting.Utils; namespace TestCallIronPython {       class Program {           public static void Main(string[] args) {               Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"); ScriptEngine pyEngine = Python.CreateEngine; ScriptScope pyScope = pyEngine.CreateScope; pyScope.SetVariable("test", "test me"); string code = @"   print 'test = ' + test    class MyClass:        def __init__(self):            pass        def somemethod(self):            print 'in some method'        def isodd(self, n):            return 1 == n % 2    "; ScriptSource source = pyEngine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(code); CompiledCode compiled = source.Compile; compiled.Execute(pyScope); // Get the Python Class object MyClass = pyEngine.Operations.Invoke(pyScope.GetVariable("MyClass")); // Invoke a method of the class pyEngine.Operations.InvokeMember(MyClass, "somemethod", new object[0]); // create a callable function to 'somemethod' Action SomeMethod2 = pyEngine.Operations.GetMember(MyClass, "somemethod"); SomeMethod2; // create a callable function to 'isodd' Func IsOdd = pyEngine.Operations.GetMember>(MyClass, "isodd"); Console.WriteLine(IsOdd(1).ToString); Console.WriteLine(IsOdd(2).ToString); Console.Write("Press any key to continue . . . "); Console.ReadKey(true); }       }    }
