[IronPython] Regression with Beta9?

[Martin Maly]

HasAttr is not an IronPython specific construct, just an IronPython specific name. It is, however, strange, that we don't find it after you import clr. We'll look into that problem.

In the meantime, you can use the name of the true Python built-in "hasattr". It will execute the very same code, only a different name will be used to access it. start_new_thread will still work for your StartNewThread case.

What about the previous email?  I currently cannot access any IronPython specific constructs which are in the __builtins__ module, or any other module:

>>> import clr
>>> HasAttr
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File , line 0, in <stdin>##16
NameError: name 'HasAttr' not defined
>>> __builtins__.HasAttr
<built-in function HasAttr>

Other modules have similar problems, such as:

>>> import clr
>>> import thread
>>> thread.StartNewThread
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File , line 0, in <stdin>##19
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'StartNewThread'

Whereas StartNewThread was a .Net style alias for thread.start_new_thread in IronPython 8.

Thanks,
-Lee

Yep, we have entered the ToString issue, but your operator issue is a new one. I've filed it in CodePlex as work item 939

And another one...

IronPython 1.0.60712 (Beta) on .NET 2.0.50727.42
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
>>> import clr
>>>
>>> clr.AddReferenceByPartialName("Microsoft.DirectX")
>>> from Microsoft import DirectX
>>> v = DirectX.Vector3(1, 2, 3)
>>> v * 2
...]>osoft.DirectX.Vector3 object at 0x000000000000002C [Z : 6
>>> v * 2.2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File , line 0, in <stdin>##30
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'Vector3' and 'float'

Whereas this worked fine in IronPython8 (and indeed the DirectX.Vector3 class supports a multiplication with floats):

IronPython 1.0.2376 (Beta) on .NET 2.0.50727.42
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
>>> import clr
>>> clr.AddReferenceByPartialName("Microsoft.DirectX")
>>> v = DirectX.Vector3(1, 2, 3)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File , line 0, in <stdin>##13
NameError: name 'DirectX' not defined
>>> from Microsoft import DirectX
>>> v = DirectX.Vector3(1, 2, 3)
>>> v * 2
Z : 6
Y : 4
X : 2

>>> v * 2.2
Z : 6.6
Y : 4.4
X : 2.2

I think the ToString issue has already been reported...

Thanks

This seems to not work anymore:

>>> import clr
>>> HasAttr
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File , line 0, in <stdin>##9
NameError: name 'HasAttr' not defined

Whereas under Beta8 it worked fine...  Is this intentional?  If so, this seems a bit weird that it's still in __builtins__:
>>> __builtins__.HasAttr
<built-in function HasAttr>

Thanks
