[IronPython] Questions and Best Practices for Script Runtime and Script Engine

[Marty Nelson]

I have a ScriptingService static class that reuses the same
ScriptRuntime instance.  Is there any reason not to do this?  What would
be the boundary conditions at which I would want to use a different
ScriptRuntime?

 

Does the call to scriptRuntime.GetEngine("py") always return the same
engine instance?  Again, why or why not reuse the same instance?

 

Lastly, I was somewhat confused by the change from
ScriptRuntime.Create() to Python.CreateRuntime().  Are the runtimes, and
more importantly ScriptScope's, reusable with other DLR languages?  I
was expecting to be able to do something like the following:

 

ScriptScope scope = scriptRuntime.CreateScope();

 

ScriptEngine pythonEngine = scriptRuntime.GetEngine("py");

pythonEngine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(pythonScript,
SourceCodeKind.Statements).Execute(scope);

 

ScriptEngine rubyEngine = scriptRuntime.GetEngine("ruby");

pythonEngine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(rubyScript,
SourceCodeKind.Statements).Execute(scope);

 

 

Thanks,
