[IronPython] sys.builtin_module_names and embedding

[Dino Viehland]

IronPython.Modules.dll is probably not being copied for your host application.  It should be next to IronPython.dll.  If it's not available then we'll just continue to run w/o the modules available.

Subject: [IronPython] sys.builtin_module_names and embedding


I am trying to run som IronPython code using the 2.6b1 hosting API but cannot seem to import the basic 'builtins' defined in IronPython.Modules.dll from my IronPython host.

When using ipy.exe, things work fine:

ipy.exe -v
>>> import sys
>>> sys.builtin_module_names
('clr', 'future_builtins', 'sys', '__builtin__', 'exceptions', '_weakref', '_struct', '_winreg', '_warnings', '_sre', '_random', '_functools', 'xxsubtype', 'time', 'thread', '_heapq', '_ctypes_test', '_ctypes', 'socket', '_sha512', '_sha256', '_sha', 'select', 're', 'operator', 'nt', '_md5', 'math', 'marshal', '_locale', 'itertools', 'imp', 'gc', 'errno', 'datetime', 'cStringIO', 'cPickle', 'copy_reg', '_collections', '_codecs', 'cmath', 'binascii', 'array')

Running from an embedded IronPython, I see only a few builtins:

('clr', 'future_builtins', 'sys', '__builtin__', 'exceptions')

How can I make the missing builtins available to my embedded interpreter?
