[IronPython] Loading DLL from pyc.py into ScriptEngine

[Srivatsn Narayanan]

Also Assembly.Load is not sufficient to be able to import the compiled code. A clr.AddReference needs to be done which publishes the module. The easiest way to do that is include it in the string as Michael pointed out.

ScriptSource source = engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString("import clr;clr.AddReference(\"test.dll\");import test", SourceCodeKind.Statements);

You might need to add the current folder to the path as well before the clr.AddReference.

Well - the easiest way is to execute 'import test' after having added
the assembly. This should execute the code in order to create a module.

ScriptScope scope = engine.CreateScope();
ScriptSource source = engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString("import test",
SourceCodeKind.Statements);
engine.Execute(scope);

There is an API for setting a stream as stdout on an engine -
'runtime.IO.SetOutput'.
