    text
    copied!<p>I want to create an assembly using IronPython can call it from C#. Here are two things I am <em>not</em> asking.</p> <ol> <li><p>I'm not asking how to call C# from IronPython. The easiest documentation to find describes how to call C# from inside IronPython. (For example, the tutorial that ships with IronPython.) I want to do the opposite, call IronPython from C#. </p></li> <li><p>I'm not asking how to embed the IronPython interpreter. I've found several useful references (e.g. <a href="http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/berniea/archive/2008/12/04/extending-your-c-application-with-ironpython.aspx" rel="noreferrer">here</a> and <a href="http://lists.ironpython.com/pipermail/users-ironpython.com/2005-July/000855.html" rel="noreferrer">here</a>) on how to call the IronPython interpreter from C#. That's helpful, but I'm more interested in creating a compiled assembly from IronPython. That is, I'd like to make method calls into the IronPython assembly rather than passing source code strings to the interpreter.</p></li> </ol> <p>Once I've created the assembly, what are some tips on calling into it? One <a href="http://www.sogeti-phoenix.com/Blogs/post/2008/03/Creating-and-Consuming-IronPython-Assemblies.aspx" rel="noreferrer">blog post</a> I found said:</p> <blockquote> <p>... calling a Python assembly from C# is non-trivial. That python assembly contains dynamic types, which are not easily reflected into useful C# objects.</p> </blockquote> <p>Do you know any sort of cheat sheet for passing basic data types between IronPython and C#?</p> <p><strong>Update</strong>: The scenario I am most interested in for now is passing two or three <code>double</code> values into Python and getting one or two <code>double</code> values back. If I could pass in a string and get a string back that would be terrific, but my first priority is just passing numbers back and forth.</p>
