[IronPython] Calling a Python function (compiled into an assembly) from C# using delegates.

In the code you showed you create an empty scope and then attempt to 
fech a variable from it - something doomed to failure...

Where does the assembly 'interpreter' come from?

If it is compiled IronPython code then the filename will correspond to a 
module name (the namespace) - so if you execute 'from module import 
interpretMapping' in the scope you have created, you will then be able 
to fetch the module.

If it is compiled IronPython code then you may need to do something else 
other than load it with the LoadAssembly API. Can't remember off the top 
of my head what the API to use is?

Something like the following should work:

    eng.GetClrModule().AddReference(interpreter);
