[IronPython] expose some namespaces of own application

[Shri Borde]

Could you use mark the types as internal and public depending on whether you wanted to prevent or allow access from IronPython? IronPython code will not be able to access types or methods marked as internal in your C# code.

It is currently an all-or-nothing situation.  As a work around you could create your own module (import imp.new_module('modulename')) and then you could add the namespaces onto the new module, then publish the module in sys.modules:

import imp
import sys

mod = imp.new_module('test')
mod.abc = 'xyz'
sys.modules['test'] = mod

import test
print test.abc

You can do this w/o giving IronPython the reference to your assembly.  Just load the assembly, and from Python you can access the namespaces/types directly off the assembly object.

Subject: [IronPython] expose some namespaces of own application

Hello,

We are using IP as a scripting engine, embedded in one of our products.

I would like to be able to expose a subset of the namespaces present in my application assembly (MyApp.exe) to the scripting engine...but hide the rest:

i.e. when a user does an "from a.b.c import Bar", if a.b.c is "hidden", then it fails:

>>> from a.b.c import Bar
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named a.b.c
>>>

whereas if a.b.pub has been "exposed" to the scripting engine, then the user can import it.

Is this currently possible? I have the impression that it is an all-or-nothing situation...and I would like to avoid having to split my classes in several assemblies.

Thanks for all input,

Kind regards,

Stan.
