[IronPython] Iterating over Dictionary<int, str> returns the wrong objects?

[Martin Maly]

Hi Ray,

With .NET Frameworks Beta 2 the behavior is exactly as you observe,
however, I found that your code works as expected on the newest builds
of .NET Frameworks, including the Visual Studio Release Candidate build
available to MSDN subscribers.

Subject: [IronPython] Iterating over Dictionary<int, str> returns the
wrong objects?

Hello,

I'm trying to print the contents of a Dictionary<int,
string>. In C# I can do this:

foreach (KeyValuePair<int, string> pair in myDict) {
    Console.WriteLine(pair.ToString());
}

However, in IP, typing this:

>>> myDict = Dictionary[int, str]()
>>> # ... do stuff here ...

>>> for pair in myDict:
...     print str(pair)
...

or this:

>>> for pair in myDict:
...     print pair.ToString()
...

gives me this:

System.Collections.DictionaryEntry
System.Collections.DictionaryEntry
System.Collections.DictionaryEntry
...

Instead of KeyValuePair<int, string> instances, I was getting
DictionaryEntry-s instead, whose ToString() method indeed prints the
fully qualified name of the instance (instead of anything meaningful). 

Is there a workaround or I should just wait for the fix? :)

Thank you!
Ray
