[IronPython] How to Use site.py

Here's what the IronPythonConsole does to import site, this should basically work for you too.  Basically it looks like you're on the right path but your site.py needs to exist somewhere on your current sys.path which you haven't configured.

            string site = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;   // get location of ipy.exe
            site = Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(site), "Lib");                            // + Lib
            CurrentPythonEngine.AddToPath(site);                                                        // add that to the path
            try {
                CurrentPythonEngine.Import("site");                                                     // import site (any changes to sys should show up)
            } catch (Exception e) {
                MyConsole.Write(CurrentPythonEngine.FormatException(e), Style.Error);   // handle errors from site
            }

Hi,

Is there an example of how to sourcing site.py when instantiating a PythonEngine from a C# assembly can be used to add the standard CPython Lib path to that instances sys.path?  Here's my C# method:

    private void ExecutePythonFile(string ParamScriptPath,
                                   IDictionary<string, object> ParamGlobals)
    {
      EngineOptions VarEngineOptions = new EngineOptions();
      VarEngineOptions.ClrDebuggingEnabled = true;
      VarEngineOptions.ExceptionDetail = true;
      VarEngineOptions.ShowClrExceptions = true;

      PythonEngine VarEngine = new PythonEngine(VarEngineOptions);

      VarEngine.Import("site");

      string VarScriptsDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(ParamScriptPath);

      ParamGlobals["ParameterScriptsDirectory"] = this.mScriptsDirectory;
      ParamGlobals["ParameterConfigurationPath"] = Path.Combine(VarScriptsDir, "configuration.xml");

      EngineModule VarMainModule = VarEngine.CreateModule("__main__", ParamGlobals, true);

      VarEngine.ExecuteFile(ParamScriptPath, VarMainModule);
    }

and here's the contents of my Lib/site.py:

import sys
sys.path.append(r'C:\Python242\Lib')

Thanks,
Jesse Wiles
