ISSUES
1. [New comment] ScriptScope.ContainsVariable throws MissingMemberException
internally
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/32530
User KeithJRome has commented on the issue:
"This happens because ContainsVariable() internally routes through IDMOP's
BindGetMember and attempts to form a CallSite. Since your IDMOP container (the
ScriptScope) has no member of that name, it throws an exception deep down in
the DLR when it tries to resolve that unresolvable CallSite.
You can avoid the whole problem if you just call GetVariableNames() instead,
and use Contains() on that. The last two lines of the following code are
functionally identical, except for the exception-throwing behavior:
var engine = Python.CreateEngine();
var test = engine.CreateScope();
bool tmp;
tmp = test.GetVariableNames().Contains("foo");
tmp = test.ContainsVariable("foo");

2. [New comment] ScriptScope.ContainsVariable throws MissingMemberException
internally
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/32530
User KeithJRome has commented on the issue:
"In fact, I see no reason why ContainsVariable() shouldn't just use the
GetMemberNames().Contains() form. It would be far more lightweight, yes?
The only "downside" I can think of is perhaps the current form exercises a lot
more of the DLR binding and might catch dynamic dispatch problems more quickly?
The current design is logically the same as doing this, but with a lot more
ceremony:
public bool ContainsVariable(ScriptScope test)
{
dynamic bar = test;
try {
var dummy = bar.foo;
return true;
} catch {
return false;
}
}
And of course, if we saw that in our own code we would probably shiver a little
bit.
