python dynamically typed: Yes C# dynamically typed: No, strongly typed. It uses lots of overloads to return the required type. I suppose some embedder somewhere has a neat way of applying the type info on the PyObject to some sort of wrapper. What language is that, anyway? It looks sort of interesting.

Hi,
While playing with the .NET python runtime (see code bellow), I have been surprised to see that the dynamic type of all values returned by the runtime is PyObject. For instance, in the latter example, I would expect "sum" to be of dynamic type PyInt and to be able to write (sum :?> PyInt) instead of (PyInt.AsInt sum). Is it a "feature" of the runtime binding ?
let entry () = PythonEngine.Initialize () use lock = new PythonEngineLock () in use builtin = PythonEngine.ImportModule ("__builtin__") in use data = new PyList (data |> Array.map (fun i -> new PyInt (i) :> PyObject)) in use sum = builtin.GetAttr("sum").Invoke([|data :> PyObject|]) in
printfn "%A" (sum.GetType ()); printfn "%A" (sum.GetPythonType ())
Best, Pierre-Yves. _________________________________________________ Python.NET mailing list - PythonDotNet@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythondotnet
