It's not really possible to get back to the ScriptEngine - but you also probably don't need to. You probably want to get back to the LanguageContext(PythonContext)/ScriptDomainManager and work with those directly. ScriptEngine/ScriptRuntime are wrappers around those which expose the friendly API and provide the easy remoting features.
You can get to the LanguageContext via a CodeContext. You can get a CodeContext by just defining it as the 1st parameter on a .NET method which we'll be calling at some point. For example our ModuleLoader class for pre-compiled code has a load_module method which receives a CodeContext. It then uses it to call back into the current PythonContext and create a new module. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Reade Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 5:36 AM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: [IronPython] (ironclad) is it possible to get the current ScriptEngine? Hi all At the moment, when a user types 'import ironclad', I create a new ScriptEngine and set that up to allow .pyd imports; I then abuse path_hooks to use the new engine to do the imports, and copy them into the original engine's sys.modules. Clearly, this is evil and wrong on any number of levels, but so far it's been (just barely) good enough. However, if I can find out which ScriptEngine is executing the code (so I can pass that into the Python25Mapper), I can greatly simplify ironclad.py and, hopefully, solve another user's problem (which, I believe, is related to sys.path not being shared between the two engines (quite rightly so, ofc ;))). So: is there any way I can get a reference to the executing engine from within IronPython code? It feels as if it should be possible, but whenever I look into it I end up chasing my tail...
