[IronPython] IP 2: Execute multiple expression in different scopes

[Dino Viehland]

Is there a reason ObjectOperations.Call(scope.GetVariable("Process"), args) doesn't work?  Once you have the function in hand you can call using this and it takes a params array.  That params array will be splatted for the call expanding to however many arguments there are there.

Hi Dody,

thanks for your patience.

I'd say in python this is def f(*arg) and def f(**dict), or not?

Probably I need the "params object[]"-approach, because I'll use the
argument's name and not index.

The question is, how a PythonFunction can be casted to a delegate of a
certain type or if that is not possible, how can the PythonFunction be
called from C#?

Christian
