You can execute Python code from Ruby in 2 ways:
1. Use the Hosting API from Ruby. I have a "python.rb" lying around that I usually use which demonstrates what to do: http://gist.github.com/132558 (this one is for Silverlight, line 10 will have to be slightly changed for the Desktop). 2. Use the DLR language interop. Read Tomas' blogpost about it: http://blog.tomasm.net/2009/04/15/python-says-hello-to-ruby/ ~js From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Thibaut Barrère Sent: Friday, June 19, 2009 4:03 AM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: Re: [IronPython] Importing .py files embedded as resources (from Silverlight) Hi Jimmy, No special support; you'll have to iterate over all the files as resources, get their contents, and do the following: var scope = scriptEngine.CreateScope(); scriptEngine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(code).Execute(scope); Though, why not just put the python files in the XAP? Then importing will just work, since the engine knows how to look in the XAP. If you're really hellbent on having them as resources, you could built a custom version of Microsoft.Scripting.Silverlight.BrowserPAL to look for files as embedded resources. I just had a chat with Ivan and he suggested the same idea. For some reason I thought that it would be hard to mix .py and .rb directly, but the dlrconsole sample does that, it seems. So I'm going to follow that advice and put the .py files into the XAP, and let the engine do the job. I still have one question then: if the main app file is a Ruby one, how can I call the Python function from there ? -- Thibaut
