[IronPython] Programming a package in c# (heirarchical modules)

[Michael Foord]

Hey guys,

I'm probably missing the point - but why not just use .NET namespaces?

Or even (did someone suggest this) write the raw classes in C# and then 
compose them into the correct package heirarchy with a pure Python 
wrapper. This latter approach is probably the one I would take.
