Thanks for the report. I've opened CodePlex bug #19350 to track this
(http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=19350).
I believe the fix is actually pretty simple and we'll discuss whether we'll
take it for 2.0 final at our Friday team meeting. If you want to try out the
fix either to unblock yourself or just see if there's other issues lurking
behind it you can do this change:
return new MetaObject[] {
arguments[0],
new MetaObject(
Ast.Call(
typeof(PythonOps).GetMethod("MakeTuple"),
Ast.NewArrayInit(typeof(object), tupleArgs)
),
- Restrictions.Empty
+ Restrictions.Combine(arguments)
),
arguments[arguments.Length-1]
};
If you just search for "return new MetaObject[]" in
PythonProtocol.Operations.cs you'll get to the right spot. There's a 2nd spot
about 20 lines later for the getter case which has the same issue & fix.

Subject: [IronPython] IronPython 2: Bug in Indexing (Blocker)
Hello Guys,
Discovered a bug in indexing Python objects in IronPython 2.
The following code:
class X(object):
def __setitem__(self, key, value):
print repr(key)
def f(a, b):
X()[a, b] = object()
f(1, 2)
f('one', 'two')
Produces the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bugtest.py", line 9, in bugtest.py
File "bugtest.py", line 6, in f
TypeError: Specified cast is not valid.
It looks like IronPython has a call site that is now expecting integers
the second time round.
Switching to using explicit tuples for indexing works around the problem:
X()[(a, b)] = object()
However this kind of indexing is an *extremely* common way to use our
spreadsheet API from user code, so we couldn't release with this bug in
place.
(Doing the indexing outside of the function also avoids the problem
interestingly enough.)
All the best,
Michael Foord
