[IronPython] OnVarChanged() - Repost

Shri,

Thanks for the advice, but I actually noticed that when I do...

pyEngine.Execute("a=1"), I do not in fact hit ModuleScope.SetGlobal(), but I
do however hit ModuleScope.SetLocal(). I took your advice though and I
extended ModuleScope, but I found I had to override both SetGlobal and
SetLocal to catch all cases which works fine, but I feel like I'm shooting
in the dark a bit since I don't have a clear understanding as to what the
two versions are really for.

Care to shed some light on this? I am a bit lost as to what IronPython means
by 'local' and 'global' as it seems like they are very close to the same
thing in the sense that I can do engine.SetGlobal("a", 1) or
engine.Execute("a=1") and basically do the same thing but one goes through
SetGlobal() and one goes through SetLocal().

Take care,
John
