[IronPython] Q: How do I compile .py files to a DLL for linking into my C# or VB program?

[Martin Maly]

There is a way to compile Python sources into a dll (there's a "pyc" sample on the codeplex website), however it will not produce a dll that is easily used from C# or VB. It is the dynamic nature of Python that makes it hard to compile into classes and methods in the same fashion as C# or VB do.

A: IronPython does not support building DLLs for a C# style of linking and calling into Python code.  You can define interfaces in C#, build those into a DLL, and then implement those interfaces in Python code as well as pass the python objects that implement the interfaces to C# code.

Can Someone kindly give an example?

Thanks in advance.
