[IronPython] Calling Python objects from C#?

Sorry, I didn't realize we never made that public...
Now that I'm looking at it a little closer I'm surprised how hard it is to get an ICallerContext instance. I think the easiest way is: module.GetModuleScope(null); (where module is the EngineModule instance in your sample code). That will return an IModuleScope which implements ICallerContext and that scope should stay in-sync with the module's own scope.

I think the DefaultContext class is private to the IronPython.Runtime.Calls namespace. I was unable to access it from my applications .dll.
>From the file DefaultContext.cs:
namespace IronPython.Runtime.Calls {
class DefaultContext : ICallerContext {
public static DefaultContext Default = new
DefaultContext(CallerContextAttributes.None);
public static DefaultContext DefaultCLS = new
DefaultContext(CallerContextAttributes.ShowCls);
This is correct? Or, should the scope be "public class DefaultContext"?
