[IronPython] 'DispPropertyGet' error returned from read-write COM interop property

[Dino Viehland]

Does:

mytestRun.Field.Item['RN_USER_01'] = 'abc'

work?

Subject: [IronPython] 'DispPropertyGet' error returned from read-write COM interop property

Hi everyone,

I encounter an error with 2.0 RC2 that didn't occur in the same
IronPython code on 2.0 Beta 3.

I use a factory object from a COM interop assembly that has a read-write
property named "Field".  I get a TypeError when I assign a value to this
property (read-write):
 >>> mytestRun.Field['RN_USER_01'] = 'abc'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'DispPropertyGet' object is unsubscriptable

 >>> print mytestRun.Field['RN_USER_01']
None

I imported the same COM interop assembly that worked with 2.0 Beta3.
The interop was converted with tlbimp.exe from a COM API .dll.  Here's
the 2.0 Beta3 output:
 >>> mytestRun.Field['RN_USER_01'] = 'abc'
 >>> print mytestRun.Field['RN_USER_01']
abc

My best guess is that IronPython 2.0 RC2 interprets the property as
read-only even though the COM interop assembly defines the property
read-write. The error occurs in IronPython 2.0 RC2 with every COM
interop object with the read-write "Field" property.

I can read the default assigned value but cannot assign anything.  Any
ideas?  I'm fresh out of them after trying many permutations of the syntax.

Thank you,
