I too am working (slowly) on adding pythonnet as scripting environment for a
.NET application. When investigating this I wrote a VS project that tested all
the assumptions I was making about how the interface worked. That is available
on GitHub at: https://github.com/tomunger/pythonnet.embedingtest
Below is the method I use to load a module. Note that I don’t import the
module but execute it in the PyScope.
Tom
private PyScope LoadModule(string name, string
fileName, Dictionary<string, object> globals)
{
PyScope scope = null;
using (Py.GIL())
{
// Create a new
scope
scope =
Py.CreateScope(name);
// Assign any
globals.
if (globals !=
null)
{
foreach (string gname in globals.Keys)
scope.Set(gname, globals[gname]);
}
// Load python
code, compile, then execute it in the scope.
string
scriptText = File.ReadAllText(fileName);
PyObject code =
PythonEngine.Compile(scriptText, fileName);
dynamic r =
scope.Execute(code);
}
return scope;
}

Subject: Re: [Python.NET] Using PyScope to set variables I can use in imported
scripts
Steve,
My organization is interested in migrating from IronPython to PythonNet so I'll
add my two cents. We do this:
1. (during startup) Run a short python file which imports some .NET namespaces
into a scope
2. (during startup) Add some variables to that scope (globals which give
scripts access to our data model)
3. (at arbitrary times later) Run python code in the above scope so that there
isn't a need to import the namespaces or discover the data model
Thanks,

Import the way I had been (hoping to do).
I am probably using it differently than intended/expected. I am importing a
script into the scope and expect to be able to inject variables into the
imported module. That doesn't seem to be what PyScope is used for. Instead,
PyScope seems to be a container for the code and variables like the __main__
scope that gets created when running Python from the command prompt. It looks
like when you Import it creates a new nested scope which doesn't have access to
the scope created by PyScope. I had expected it to work as PyScope was the
scope in which the Imported code would be executed, not the parent scope. I
think the intended way to use PyScope and access the variables it holds is to
pass the code in as Strings using Exec().
I think the right thing to do is:
1) Set variables in PyScope
2) Add the path to the script to the sys.path
3) Read the contents of the script file into a string
4) Use the PyScope to Exec() Execute() or Eval() as appropriate
This works it is just not the same as what I was used to with IronPython (which
is fine if that is really how it is intended to be used).

I copied Wenguang Yang (@yagweb), who developed PyScope.
Steve, did you look at the unit tests for PyScope?

I am new to Python.Net and trying to convert an application that used
IronPython to embed a Python environment into a .Net application and allow the
user to run Python scripts inside our application. The part that embeds the
Python environment is VB.Net (but could be C# if that would be better).
I am running into problems setting variables in the scope such that they can be
used in the Python scripts we call. I keep getting an error: NameError: global
name 'Bridge' is not defined.
This is the VB code I am trying to use:
PythonEngine.Initialize()
Using (Py.GIL())
Dim moduleName As String = "PrintToBridge"
Dim pythonCommandLine As String = "Not used yet"
Dim scope As PyScope = Py.CreateScope()
Try
scope.Set("Bridge", bridge)
scope.Set("SetupParams", cmdLine)
Dim script As Object = scope.Import(moduleName)
bridge.mm.PrintMsg("Scope has Bridge:" +
Str(scope.Contains("Bridge")))
script.Startup(pythonCommandLine)
Finally
scope.Dispose()
End Try
End Using
The Python script:
def Startup(param):
Bridge.mm.PrintMsg('Startup called')
def Docommand(param):
Bridge.mm.PrintMsg('docommand called')
def Shutdown():
Bridge.mm.PrintMsg('Shutdown called')
How can I set a variable such that it would be recognized by the called Python
script? Importing the script works, I can force python-y things to happen.
And the check to see if the object I want is in scope returns true. But it
still isn't available in Python.
I have tried scope.Eval(moduleName + ".Startup('" + pythonCommandLine + "')")
and Exec() with locals:
Dim locals As PyDict = New PyDict()
locals.SetItem("Bridge".ToPython(), bridge.ToPython())
scope.Exec(moduleName + ".Startup('" + pythonCommandLine +
"')", locals)
All with the same effect. Any ideas on how to get set variables so scripts can
gain access to them?
Thanks,
Steve
