Ok, I think the problem here is two-fold. First there's no public default
constructor - only a private one. So you need to pick between the Stream
overload or the StreamResourceInfo, Uri overload. You're apparently trying to
choose the Stream overload.
Which brings me to the 2nd problem. Quite surprisingly GetResourceStream
doesn't seem to return a stream - it returns a StreamResourceInfo. So
ultimately there are no applicable methods for us to call.
I think you want:
class MyTheme(Theme):
def __new__(cls):
return Theme.__new__(cls,
Application.GetResourceStream(Uri('theme.xaml', UriKind.Relative)).Stream)
And then we need to continue to work on improving our error messages which
remain particularly bad in some spots :).

I don't think I've ever subclassed a .NET type that has a default
constructor taking an argument, hopefully the problem here is with me
and not IronPython :) I thought __new__ might be the one to use, but I
got these errors with __new__:
class MyTheme(Theme):
def __new__(cls):
return Theme.__new__(cls,
Application.GetResourceStream(Uri('theme.xaml', UriKind.Relative)))
TypeError: default __new__ does not take parameters.
If I use:
class MyTheme(Theme):
def __new__(cls):
return Theme.__new__(cls)
TypeError: MyTheme() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)
Back to square one. Do you have some idea what I'm doing wrong here?
The assembly is from the Silverlight Toolkit:
