Thanks for your help so late Curt (not that I need a quick answer at all). I am sure I am missing something big-time here and "talking" as cross-purposes, but, to my mind the reason I don't have a problem when running from the command line is because all I am doing is running the ipy.exe on the file which loads some assemblies, creates a class definition and a function definition and then terminates without even instantiating the class. Is this what you mean by "running it directly"? Thanks again, Kyle

This may be related to the way ASP.NET makes shadow copies of your files, but there could be other reasons as well (none of which, unfortunately, come to mind right now). Using an interface instead of a base class would give you the same results.

For the moment I am simplifying it by removing IP :( I wanted to so some moderately heavy reflection which to my thinking should be easier from IP but I will use VB for now. I assume I *should* be able to return a derived python class to VB? Alternatively I could implement an interface. How can IP implement a .NET interface? (All pointers to pre-existing doco warmly received :) Thanks Kyle ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Curt Hagenlocher Sent: Friday, 22 February 2008 4:29 PM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: Re: [IronPython] FW: returning inherited classes to .NET My apologies; I wasn't reading the code correctly. That's probably a sign that I should be going to bed. :) Have you tried simplifying your version just a little bit by running it directly rather than through ASP.NET <http://asp.net/> ?

When I view the link I see the following: The .NET code creates the "Test" class and then runs the python code which imports the "Test" class a subclasses it to create python class "X". Class "X" is then called and cast to type "Test" and assigned to the value obj. Is this what you are looking at? My code is pretty much identical. The VB looks like: Public MustInherit Class ChildControl Public Function Control() As WebControl Return Nothing End Function Public Function GetValue() As String Return Nothing End Function Public Function SetValue(ByVal value As Object) As String Return Nothing End Function End Class Class IPReflection Private Shared Instance As IPReflection = Nothing Private PyEngine As PythonEngine Private PyModule As EngineModule Public Shared Function Inst() As IPReflection If Instance Is Nothing Then Instance = New IPReflection End If Return Instance End Function Private Sub New() Dim path As String = HttpContext.Current.Request.MapPath(".") PyEngine = New PythonEngine PyEngine.AddToPath(path) PyModule = PyEngine.CreateModule PyEngine.DefaultModule = PyModule PyEngine.ExecuteFile(HttpContext.Current.Request.MapPath("CustomControls .py")) End Sub Public Function GetChildControl() As ChildControl Return CType(Operations.Ops.Call(PyModule.Globals("GetControl")), ChildControl) End Function End Class And the python looks like: import clr import sys clr.AddReference('System') import System sys.path.append(sys.path[0] + "/bin") clr.AddReferenceToFile("WebControlLibrary.dll") clr.AddReference('System.Web') from System.Web.UI.WebControls import Label from WebControlLibrary import ChildControl class LabelChildControl(ChildControl): def __init__(self): self.control = Label() def Control(self): return self.control def GetControl(): return LabelChildControl() Thanks again, Kyle ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Curt Hagenlocher Sent: Friday, 22 February 2008 3:08 PM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: Re: [IronPython] returning inherited classes to .NET The page in question doesn't seem to show what you describe -- deriving a Python class from a C# class.

The page referenced above just seems to cast the python class instance to the C# class instance but this does not work for me in VB.
