[IronPython] Announcing IronPython 2.0 VS10 CTP

[Dody Gunawinata]

I wonder if this Dynamic Type finally allow heterogeneous data container to
be used in C#.
This is from the sample code
"  static void Main(string[] args)        {
            Console.WriteLine("Loading helloworld.py...");

            ScriptRuntime py = Python.CreateRuntime();
            dynamic helloworld = py.UseFile("helloworld.py");

            Console.WriteLine("helloworld.py loaded!");


            for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(helloworld.welcome("Employee #{0}"), i);
            }
            Console.WriteLine();
        }"

Now if helloworld actually returns a tuple or mixed typed array, can it
actually be used in the C# program?
