[IronPython] Application?

[Dino Viehland]

Ahh, I see.  It looks like this info ultimately comes from custom attributes exposed off of Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().  Therefore w/ the VS SDK sample (which I assume is where the VS side of things come in) and the IronPython command line these are both going to reflect the hosting app.

It would be theoretically possible to do this w/ the pyc sample and some changes to the PythonCompiler class.  The PythonCompiler class would need to expose the AssemblyGen object and set the appropriate custom attributes on it via, something like:

ag.myAssembly.SetCustomAttribute(new CustomAttributeBuilder(
               typeof(AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute).GetConstructor(new Type[]{typeof(string)}), "2.0")
               );

That has the downside of requiring you to compile your code (or at least your main EXE).  But basically it looks like we have no good support for this right now.

Thanks Dino.

Yes the Application does work but all the paths point to the
PythonConsoleHost folder name and version so are not much use.

The version and app name seem to be set in AssemblyInfo file in a VS
project. Is this achievable with IronPython?

Thanks,
Davy
