[IronPython] Building via AST

[Justin Chase]

I feel like I'm sooooo close but something isn't quite working. Here is my
current code:

var runtime = Python.CreateRuntime();
runtime.LoadAssembly(typeof(IExample).Assembly);

var engine = runtime.GetEngineByFileExtension(".py");
var context = (PythonContext)HostingHelpers.GetLanguageContext(engine);

var globals = new PythonDictionary();
globals.Add("__name__", "<test>"); // I get an exception without this.

var options = new PythonCompilerOptions(ModuleOptions.ExecOrEvalCode |
ModuleOptions.Initialize);
var unit = new SourceUnit(context, NullTextContentProvider.Null, "",
SourceCodeKind.Statements);

var moduleContext = new ModuleContext(globals, context);
var codeContext = new CodeContext(
new PythonDictionary(),
moduleContext);

var classDefinition = new IronPython.Compiler.Ast.ClassDefinition(
"Example",
new Expression[] { },
new FunctionDefinition(
"Do",
new[] { new Parameter("self") },
new ReturnStatement(new ConstantExpression("hello python!"))));

var pythonAst = new PythonAst(
new IronPython.Compiler.Ast.SuiteStatement(new Statement[] { /* import, */
classDefinition }),
false,
ModuleOptions.ExecOrEvalCode,
false,
new CompilerContext(
unit,
options,
new ThrowsErrorSink()));

pythonAst.Bind();
var lambda = (System.Linq.Expressions.LambdaExpression)pythonAst.Reduce();
var func = (Func<CodeContext, FunctionCode, object>)lambda.Compile();
var result = func(codeContext, null); // result is null

dynamic python = HostingHelpers.CreateScriptScope(engine,
moduleContext.GlobalScope);
*dynamic example = python.Example(); // fails! Example is not in scope.*
Console.WriteLine(example.Do());
Console.ReadKey(true);


Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? This has got to be pretty close.
