[IronPython] Declare a class in Python and use it in .net

[Dino Viehland]

The inheritance part is no problem, that will just work.  For example (warning, compiled w/ Outlook):

C#:
namespace MyNamespace {
public delegate MyClass MyDelegate();
public class MyClass {
        public virtual string Foo() {
                return "C# in the house";
        }
        public string CallFoo() {
                return Foo();
        }
        public static MyClass CreateFoo(MyDelegate creator) {
                return creator();
        }
}
}

Python:

import clr
clr.AddReference('MyAssembly')
from MyNamespace import MyClass

class PyClass(MyClass):
        def Foo(self):
                return "Python in the house"


a = PyClass()
a.Foo()                 # returns 'Python in the house'
a.CallFoo()                     # also returns 'Python in the house'

it's the creation of the Python object that's hard.  For that you need the delegate because C# won't ever see PyClass as a .NET type that it can allocate:

def createPyClass():
        return PyClass()

MyClass.CreateFoo(createPyClass)  # returns a new PyClass

How can I do what I asked using delegate? I have to inherit from a class,
override a method and return an object. I guess I can manage with returning
a delegate that execute the overriden method - but it is important to me
that the metod will be a part of a class because the code has calls to other
class properties and methods.
