Dear all,


Currently, I am facing an issue to do scripting with a managed object in python engine.
I managed to import the module and set an attribute value to the managed object.

The issue is in the next step where I am trying to use the module in a statement/expression via PythonEngine.RunString or RunSimpleString method.
As far as I know:
So...

I made a little modification on the code by creating a new class that represents the Python Module object.
This is how I use the modification in my code.
            PythonEngine.Initialize(); 
 
            // create __main__ and my own module
            PyModule __main__ = new PyModule(PythonEngine.ImportModule("__main__"));
            PyModule birdwrapper = new PyModule(PythonEngine.ImportModule("birdwrapper"));

            // set the value of the attribute to a managed object
            birdwrapper.SetAttr("pet", PyObject.FromManagedObject(new Eagle("Foo")));

            // include my own module in the __main__ module 
            __main__.AddObject("birdwrapper", birdwrapper);

            // run the script from this method because it is called from the __main__ module
            PythonEngine.RunSimpleString("birdwrapper.Fly()");

            PythonEngine.Shutdown();

 ++ in runtime.cs:
        internal static bool PyModule_Check(IntPtr ob)
          {
                return PyObject_TYPE(ob) == Runtime.PyModuleType;
          }
 
        [DllImport(Runtime.dll, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl,
          ExactSpelling = true, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]
          internal unsafe static extern int
          PyModule_AddObject(IntPtr module, string name, IntPtr value); 

 pymodule.cs:
    public class PyModule : PyObject
    {

        public PyModule(IntPtr ptr) : base(ptr) { }

        public PyModule(PyObject o) : base()
        {
            if (!IsModuleType(o))
            {
                throw new ArgumentException("object is not a module");
            }
            Runtime.Incref(o.obj);
            obj = o.obj;
        }

        public PyModule(string name) : base()
        {
            obj = Runtime.PyModule_New(name);
            if (obj == IntPtr.Zero)
            {
                throw new PythonException();
            }
        }

        public static bool IsModuleType(PyObject value)
        {
            return Runtime.PyModule_Check(value.obj);
        }

        public void AddObject(string name, PyObject value)
        {
            int op = Runtime.PyModule_AddObject(obj, name, value.obj);
            if (op != 0)
                throw new PythonException();
        }

    }


I hope the code could illustrate what I am basically trying to achieve with python.net.
I wonder if there is a possible way to do this without modifying the code. 

Could anyone please advise?
