[IronPython] How to dynamically define and call a function?

[Vagmi Mudumbai]

Alternatively, you can simply use the file object to write it to a new
module and import it later.

newmod=file('newmodule.py','w')
newmod.write('def add(x,y):\n    return x+y\n')
newmod.close()
import newmodule
print newmodule.add(10,20)
