[IronPython] Treat struct as tuple

Say you have a .NET struct for something like a 3D point
public struct Point3d
{
private double m_x, m_y, m_z;
public double X{ get {return m_x;} set {m_x = value;} }
public double Y{ get {return m_y;} set {m_y = value;} }
public double Z{ get {return m_z;} set {m_z = value;} }
// more functions...
}
We have a user that wants to treat this struct like a tuple of 3 values in
IronPython so he can do things like
pt = Point3d(1,2,3)
for a in pt:
print a
-or-
pass pt to a function that expects a tuple.
I recommended that the user write a function to coerce the struct to a tuple
def coerceTuple( pt ):
return [pt.X, pt.Y, pt.Z]
The user said this works, but would like to have something a bit cleaner. Do
any of you guys suggestions about what I could do to make our Point3d struct
more "python friendly"?
Thanks,
