[IronPython] Threading/Delegates

[Dan Lash]

I've just been playing around with IronPython and some of the .NET
framework the past few days, and I tried porting over an example off
of the MSDN library about threading.

The first thing I noticed is that I can't seem to get any class
declarations going. Even this doesn't work:

class Test:
   def Hello():
       print "Hello"


IronPython gives:

System.Reflection.TargetException: Non-static field requires a target.
  at System.Reflection.RuntimeFieldInfo.InternalGetValue(Object obj, Boolean re
quiresAccessCheck)
  at System.Reflection.RuntimeFieldInfo.GetValue(Object obj)
  at IronPython.Objects.module.__getattribute__(String name)
  at IronPython.Objects.ModuleDictionary.get_Item(Object key)
  at IronPython.Objects.Frame.GetGlobal(String name)
  at input_0.Run(Frame frame)
  at IronPythonConsole.IronPython.DoInteractive()


But I guess that may be another issue, what I wanted to get going was
the following:

from System import *
from System.Threading import *

def ThreadProc():
   for i in range(10):
       Console.WriteLine("ThreadProc: {0}", i)
       Thread.Sleep(0)

def Main():
   Console.WriteLine("Main thread: Start a second thread.")
   t = Thread(ThreadStart(ThreadProc))
   t.Start()
   for i in range(4):
       Console.WriteLine("Main thread: Do some work.")
       Thread.Sleep(0)
   Console.WriteLine("Main thread: Call Join(), to wait until ThreadProc ends.")
   t.Join()
   Console.WriteLine("Main thread: ThreadProc.Join has returned. 
Press Enter to end program.")
   Console.ReadLine()


Which is a port (minus the class) out of:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemthreadingthreadclasstopic.asp

Upon further inspection, it doesn't seem that ThreadStart works on any level:

System.Exception: bad args to this method <constructor# for
System.Threading.ThreadStart>
  at IronPython.Objects.ReflectedMethodBase.Call(Object[] args)
  at IronPython.Objects.ReflectedType.Call(Object[] args)
  at IronPython.Objects.Ops.Call(Object func, Object arg0)
  at input_3.Main$f1()
  at IronPython.Objects.Function0.Call()
  at IronPython.Objects.Ops.Call(Object func)
  at input_5.Run(Frame frame)
  at IronPythonConsole.IronPython.DoInteractive()

Am I missing something here, is my Python syntax wrong? Or is
IronPython just not ready for ThreadStart delegates?
