[IronPython] More fun with delegates

[Dino Viehland]

System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke in Silverlight has an overload which takes a System.Action.  In .NET 3.5 it seems to only have overloads which take Delegate.  So on the desktop CLR we don't have any idea of what type of delegate to convert it to vs. Silverlight we know to go to Action.

Ok, I understand that now. But what about this?

>>> def echo(x):
...     print x
...
>>> d.BeginInvoke(echo, 2)
TypeError: expected Delegate, got function

It works fine on Silverlight.

Thanks,
