[IronPython] Loading Python modules from Silverlight Isolated Storage

[Dino Viehland]

What’s the problem w/ declaring a lambda inside an exec?

It was proven to me that while exec might work for simple cases, more advanced usage (declaring a lambda function inside an exec) can be problematic. It was advised that I generate python modules and dynamically import them. If memory served me, it's not possible to import a module from a string object.

Thanks.

You should be able to do this all in-memory:

>>> import sys
>>> foo = type(sys)('foo')
>>> sys.modules['foo'] = foo
>>> exec 'a = 1' in foo.__dict__
>>> foo.a
1
>>>

There's probably a better ("more Pythonic") way to do this, but I'm sleepy...

All,

  Is it possible to have python load modules from the silverlight isolated storage? My app needs to dynamically generate and import python code to run.

Ken
