We never have strong typing so we'll never see the difference between GetInterface() and GetClass(). Instead we'll always just see that we have a MyClass and do the lookup based upon that. The worst case scenario here is you'll need to do IMyInterface.MyProperty.GetValue(instance).
OTOH if you can make MyClass or "public string MyProperty" internal then they'd just not be visible to IronPython. That'd mean we'd pick up the explicit interface implementation as of the IronPython 2.0B4 I believe. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Baer Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2008 8:02 PM To: Users@lists.ironpython.com Subject: [IronPython] Problem calling proper version of function This may just be how Python works, but I wanted to check with you guys first. Say I have an assembly named MyLibrary that contains the following code: namespace MyLibrary { public interface IMyInterface { string MyProperty{ get;} } public class MyClass : IMyInterface { string IMyInterface.MyProperty { get { return "MyInterface version of MyProperty"; } } public string MyProperty { get { return "MyClass version of MyProperty"; } } public static IMyInterface GetInterface(){ return new MyClass();} public static MyClass GetClass() { return new MyClass(); } } } ------------------------------------------------------------- A console application with the following code MyLibrary.IMyInterface a = MyLibrary.MyClass.GetInterface(); Console.WriteLine("MyInterface call = " + a.MyProperty); MyLibrary.MyClass b = MyLibrary.MyClass.GetClass(); Console.WriteLine("MyClass call = " + b.MyProperty); Will produce the following output: MyInterface call = MyInterface version of MyProperty MyClass call = MyClass version of MyProperty ------------------------------------------------------------- Now if I use IronPython and write a script that looks like the following import clr clr.AddReference("MyLibrary") import MyLibrary a = MyLibrary.MyClass.GetInterface() print "MyInterface call = ", a.MyProperty b = MyLibrary.MyClass.GetClass() print "MyClass call = ", b.MyProperty The output of this script is MyInterface call = MyClass version of MyProperty MyClass call = MyClass version of MyProperty I've been testing IronPython on our CAD application and everything has been working great except for this issue. It is actually a pretty big issue for me because the way I wrapped our C++ SDK for .NET uses this feature quite a bit. If this is the expected result in python, is there a way to force the interface version of the property_get function to be called?
