[IronPython] Embedding IronPython and calling python functions from C#

[Patrick van der Willik]

Ok, I'm confused here. I'm very new to Python aswell, so this probably 
doesn't help very much. As oppossed to trying to constanly import a huge 
set of require variables all the time, I thought it might be a good idea 
to introduce 1 object into the globals space which will host a variety 
of the functions.

I did this by calling engine.Runtime.Globals.SetVariable("server", 
server); then loading source script, compile it and invoke it on the scope.
def OnConnect(user):
    global server
    server.log.Write("Test")

However, this results in the same error, where server is not defined. I 
feel kinda silly here, as to me is would seem rather logical that when I 
introduce variables into a ScriptScope and then execute a function 
within that scope that it would work. I understand that variables 
themselfs are limited to a module, which sounds logical, but it feels 
weird that even tho I inject a variable directly into the globals table 
or into the scope that I created before executing a script on it, I 
can't (in)directly use them from script.

The other solution would be to have the server object be part of every 
function call to scripts, but that sounds kinda silly...
