Instantiating a python class in C#

Question

I\'ve written a class in python that I want to wrap into a .net assembly via IronPython and instantiate in a C# application. I\'ve migrated the class to IronPython, created

Answer 1

I am updating the above example provided by Clever Human for compiled IronPython classes (dll) instead of IronPython source code in a .py file.

# Compile IronPython calculator class to a dll
clr.CompileModules("calculator.dll", "calculator.py")

C# 4.0 code with the new dynamic type is as follows:

// IRONPYTHONPATH environment variable is not required. Core ironpython dll paths should be part of operating system path.
ScriptEngine pyEngine = Python.CreateEngine();
Assembly myclass = Assembly.LoadFile(Path.GetFullPath("calculator.dll"));
pyEngine.Runtime.LoadAssembly(myclass);
ScriptScope pyScope = pyEngine.Runtime.ImportModule("calculator");
dynamic Calculator = pyScope.GetVariable("Calculator");
dynamic calc = Calculator();
int result = calc.add(4, 5);
