I haven't had a chance to track down what the underlying problem here is (and
suspect this is a bug), but is there a reason you can't do:
>>> import clr
>>> clr.AddReference('Foo.bar.dll')
>>> import Foo.Bar
This seems to work. The only reason to use AddReferenceToFile is really if you
are dealing with assemblies that live outside of your app domain base. In that
case AddReferenceToFile will attempt to use sys.path to search for referenced
assemblies when the CLR loader attempts to load them.
But if you're using this DLL from within your app domain base then doing
AddReference will cause the CLR to do an Assembly.Load('foo.bar.dll') which
will succeed and also get the dependencies using the standard .NET way.
Let me know if this is a reasonable workaround for you and I'll continue to
look into the underlying issue here.

Subject: [IronPython] wierd import problem
Hi everyone,
I'm seeing a bit of weirdness when trying to import a dll with a nested
namespace. Actually, I'm not sure if it's a filename issue or a namespace
issue, as the filename of the assembly is named after the namespace.
OK, let's say I have two assemblies: Foo.exe and Foo.Bar.dll (I've attached a
simple Visual Studio project to recreate the situation)
I want to "import Foo.Bar", but I'm getting an error concerning Foo.exe
Here's the steps to reproduce:
>>> import clr
>>> clr.AddReferenceToFile('Foo.Bar.dll')
>>> import Foo.Bar
Traceback (most recent call last):
File , line 0, in <stdin>##14
File , line 0, in __import__##7
SystemError: C:\Temp\Foo\bin\Debug\Foo.exe is not pre-compiled module; try
again after deleting it.
>>> for ref in clr.References:
... print ref
...
mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
Foo.Bar, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null >>>
As the output shows, Foo.Bar has been referenced. So what am I doing wrong
that I can't import?
BTW, I'm using IP v1.1 (in case you're wondering).
Thanks,
Tony
