Thank you! That asnwered to all of my questions - after loading the executing assembly into the python runtime I was able to run "from namespace import *" and that did the job.

About the interop: wow that's really good. Never thought DLR team could make it that fast.

To expose a whole namespace the simplest way is probably to call scriptRuntime.LoadAssembly(some_assembly); All of the public types will then be available for importing from IronPython. That means they won't all be available at the top-level. If that's not ok you could use reflection and call DynamicHelpers.GetPythonTypeFromType(...) and inject all the types you want.

As for interop the performance should be fine. When using dynamic from C# the overhead should basically be similar to the overhead of calling a function within Python. And for Python calling into C# the overhead is the same as any Python code calling into any of the runtime -- in other words pretty darn fast. For a simple function call to a Python function last I measured I believe it was around 40 instructions on x86 to perform the call.

For example on my laptop this runs in about 1/3 of a second and performs 10 million function calls:

import time

def f():

                def g(): pass

                for i in xrange(10000000):

                                g()

s = time.clock()

f()

e = time.clock()

print e -- s

So what probably matters a lot more is what the function is doing.

Salut, fellow coders!

I have an application where i need some live coding to debug and use it. I've been coding in C# for ages now.

I looked into different languages, and found python. And obviously fell in love. Now i have a home-made interactive python console with my application. I implemented suggestions with dir() and so on.

tldr:
The problem im facing is that I need to integrate whole application with the console now. I know I can expose types and variables thru scope.SetVariable but what I need is to expose a whole /namespace/ to the scope.

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. How fast is interop between python and C#? Would it be ok to have a python function as dynamic in C# and calling it about 250 times a second?

Thanks,
    Iivari Mokelainen
