I have written a simple hosting example for the current stable version. I have used IronPython 2.0.1, Visual Studio 2005 SP1, and .NET Framework 2.0 SP2. This example has not been tested with IronPython 2.6 Beta 1 nor IronPython 2.6 for .NET 4.0 Beta 1.
The example code can be seen as follows:
1 namespace IronPythonHostingExample
2 {
3 using System;
4 using IronPython.Hosting;
5 using Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting;
6
7 public class IronPythonStatementHostingExample
8 {
9 public static void ShowDemo()
10 {
11 ScriptRuntimeSetup setup = Python.CreateRuntimeSetup(null);
12 ScriptRuntime runtime = new ScriptRuntime(setup);
13 ScriptEngine engine = Python.GetEngine(runtime);
14 ScriptScope scope = engine.CreateScope();
15 ScriptSource source;
16 string sourceCode = string.Empty;
17 sourceCode += "def factorial(n):" + Environment.NewLine;
18 sourceCode += " f = 1" + Environment.NewLine;
19 sourceCode += " i = 1" + Environment.NewLine;
20 sourceCode += " if (i > n):" + Environment.NewLine;
21 sourceCode += " return -1" + Environment.NewLine;
22 sourceCode += " while (i < n):" + Environment.NewLine;
23 sourceCode += " f = f * i" + Environment.NewLine;
24 sourceCode += " i = i + 1" + Environment.NewLine;
25 sourceCode += " return f" + Environment.NewLine;
26 sourceCode += "def add_two_numbers(n1, n2):" + Environment.NewLine;
27 sourceCode += " return n1+n2" + Environment.NewLine;
28 sourceCode += "for i in range(5):" + Environment.NewLine;
29 sourceCode += " print i" + Environment.NewLine;
30 sourceCode += "print factorial(5)" + Environment.NewLine;
31 sourceCode += "print factorial(-4)" + Environment.NewLine;
32 sourceCode += "print add_two_numbers(1, 2)" + Environment.NewLine;
33 source = scope.Engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(sourceCode, Microsoft.Scripting.SourceCodeKind.Statements);
34 source.Execute(scope);
35 }
36 }
37 }
To compile it as a project, you need the following DLLs to be added to your project:
The DLL files can be found in the directory"C:\Program Files\IronPython 2.0.1".
