[IronPython] Need help to port-dynamic class generation code to IP2

Real thanks for your time and effort.

In my actual implementation, I do call __init__ within the emitted class
by calling "InvokeSpecialMethod" inside the generated constructor.
Unfortunately, the method is no longer available in 2.0

Hope that does not mean I'm doomed.
Anyway, thanks for the hint. I'll investigate what I can do.

I do not completely understand this statement. I assume you suggest
me to extend PythonType to customize it's behaviour ?


Thanks.
