I don't think we want to do this. In .NET System.Delegate is treated specially by the virtual machine, and it needs an exact declaration of the signature. The interoperability between python and delegates is two-ways: 1) having a .NET delegate in a Python variable and being able to call it using the usual Python syntax 2) having a .NET method taking a delegate and being able to pass it a python callable Point 1 is quite easy: it's just a matter do map Invoke on __call__. Point 2 is probably very hard to solve for the general case, because .NET delegates are statically typed and Python callables are not; I didn't think very deeply about the problem, but I think the solution involves the creation of a thin wrapper method on the fly. I suggest to do only point 1 for now. The hardest part could be to find a way to test it properly, because we need to find a place in the standard library that returns a delegate we can call; maybe you can find something useful here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/at6657xa.aspx ciao Anto _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
