[IronPython] [python] IronPython and C# asynchronous events

[McCalment, Noah]

Unless I'm missing something concerning the use of CallTarget0, this
doesn't work either.  Neither my class code nor my script code is
anything terribly complicated, so if you can point out what I'm doing
wrong in either case, I'd be more than happy to admit my mistake.

Hello Noah,

We've had no problems with synchronous and asynchronous events from 
IronPython (possibly try using the CallTarget0 delegate?), which 
suggests something wrong with your code.
