Mike in this case is probably Michael Foord.

Here's a good place to start (from Mike's blog):
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/ironpython/hosting_api.shtm

There are lots of variations of hosting, and many patterns. Sounds like you
might be wanting to define classes in IPy and instantiate them. Basically,
you run the script that defines the class, then get the class object from
the runtime scope, then invoke the constructor which returns an instance of
the object. Casting should work in that case (provided of course that you've
derived from the type in question). For example:

        public T Load<T>(string path, params object[] parameters) where T :
class {

                ScriptSource script =
_engine.CreateScriptSourceFromFile(path);
                CompiledCode code = script.Compile();
                string className = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(path); #
this is just a convention
                object theClass = _scope.GetVariable(className);
                object instance = _engine.Operations.Invoke(theClass,
parameters);
                return instance as T;
    }

This isn't the only info you need, but should give you an idea of how it
works. Try searching for "ironpython hosting"

Hope this helps.
