[IronPython] PythonEngine.SetVariable not in 1.0 RC1

[Mark Rees]

Yes the hosting api has changed. It was documented in the beta9
release announcement:

http://lists.ironpython.com/pipermail/users-ironpython.com/2006-July/002808.html

But to paraphrase:

<snip>
One of the most significant changes is the final updates to the
hosting API.  The hosting APIs have removed the concept of a
ModuleScope and replaced it with a normal dictionary.  Here is a
sample of how you can use the new hosting APIs:

       EngineOptions engineOptions = new EngineOptions();
       engineOptions.ShowClrExceptions = true; // do some customization
       PythonEngine engine = new PythonEngine(engineOptions);
       Dictionary<string, object> globals = new Dictionary<string, object>();
       globals["x"] = 1; // set a global variable
       EngineModule module = engine.CreateModule("MyModule", globals, true);
       module.Globals["y"] = 2; // set another global variable
       Dictionary<string, object> locals = new Dictionary<string, object>();
       locals["z"] = 3; // set a local variable
       engine.Compile("result = x+y+z").Execute(module, locals);
       Console.WriteLine(engine.EvaluateAs<int>("result", module, locals));

We've also added new PythonEngine.CreateMethod and
PythonEngine.CreateLambda methods.  These allow you to bind either a
set of Python statements or a single expression to a delegate.  The
parameters of the delegate are exposed to the Python code, and the
delegate can be re-bound to different modules at runtime providing a
quick way to provide different inputs to your cached Python code.
