[IronPython] deriving IronPython

[Dino Viehland]

Is there some specific functionality you'd like to override?  We certainly wouldn't want to make all the methods virtual as it'd be a large backwards compatibility burden, but we are actively looking at trying to improve these APIs so whatever specific feedback you'd have hear would be great to hear.

Do you want to help develop Dynamic languages on CLR?<http://members.microsoft.com/careers/search/details.aspx?JobID=6D4754DE-11F0-45DF-8B78-DC1B43134038> (http://members.microsoft.com/careers/search/details.aspx?JobID=6D4754DE-11F0-45DF-8B78-DC1B43134038)

Hi everyone,

I thought it would be rather cool if the developers of IronPython changed the protection levels in some of IronPython classes. I mean, PythonEngine or PythonCommandLine are classes that are subject to be subclassed. Maybe you could set them to "protected virtual"..., so that we all can derive from IronPython without having to touch a single byte of the source code?

Regards,
Ivan
