[Python.NET] RunString does not work

[Brian Lloyd]

FYI, if you are getting a NameError using RunString that usually means that
the string 
you run needs to do some imports ‹ remember that RunString creates
(essentially) a 
totally new global local namespace, so you¹ll need to import any names you
need in 
your code snippet.

e.g.

  CLR.Food.SpamAndEggs.cook()

  ...will fail

but

  import CLR
  import CLR.Food
  CLR.Food.SpamAndEggs.cook()

  ...should work


hope this helps,

-Brian
