[IronPython] User Privileges

[Dino Viehland]

Are you running IronPython from a network share?  And have you also reduced any .NET rights instead of just windows rights?

You shouldn't need the SDK or full privileges to run IronPython.

Do you want to help develop Dynamic languages on CLR? (http://members.microsoft.com/careers/search/details.aspx?JobID=6D4754DE-11F0-45DF-8B78-DC1B43134038)

Subject: [IronPython] User Privileges

Hello all,

I just tried running the ironpythonconsole on a machine with no
administrative privileges. In fact the user on this machine has *fairly*
restricted privileges.

(The machine has the .NET 2.0 redistributable framework installed but
not the SDK, running on Windows XP SP2, with IP Beta 6)

Unhandled Exception: System.MethodAccessException: Attempt to access the
method
failed.
   at System.Delegate.BindToMethodInfo(Object target,
RuntimeMethodHandle method
, RuntimeTypeHandle methodType, DelegateBindingFlags flags)
   at System.Delegate.CreateDelegate(Type type, MethodInfo method,
Boolean throw
OnBindFailure)
   at IronPython.Compiler.CodeGen.CreateDelegate(MethodInfo methodInfo,
Type del
egateType)
   at IronPython.Runtime.OptimizedFunction1..ctor(String name,
MethodInfo info,
MethodBase[] targets, FunctionType functionType)
   at IronPython.Runtime.BuiltinFunction.MakeBuiltinFunction(String
name, Method
Info info, MethodBase[] targets, FunctionType functionType)
   at IronPython.Runtime.SystemState.Initialize()
   at IronPython.Runtime.SystemState..ctor()
   at IronPython.Hosting.PythonEngine..ctor()
   at IronPython.Hosting.PythonEngine..ctor(Options opts)
   at IronPythonConsole.PythonCommandLine.Main(String[] rawArgs)

Can anyone diagnose this ? Does the SDK need installing ? Must the user
have full privileges in order to be able to run IronPython ?
