Using Python Classes from .NET (c

From IronPython Cookbook

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<Action>(MyClass, "somemethod");
               SomeMethod2();
               
               // create a callable function to 'isodd'
               Func<int, bool> IsOdd = pyEngine.Operations.GetMember<Func<int, bool>>(MyClass, "isodd");
               Console.WriteLine(IsOdd(1).ToString());
               Console.WriteLine(IsOdd(2).ToString());
               
               Console.Write("Press any key to continue . . . ");
               Console.ReadKey(true);
           }
       }
   }
