[IronPython] Interesting problems with compiling IP2 programs....

[Srivatsn Narayanan]

Looks like this has already been fixed in the latest sources. This reproes with the beta4 binaries but works fine with the latest binaries from our depot (once I have thrown in stat.py and userdict.py anyway). There was an import related checkin that went in this Monday. That might have fixed this I believe. The latest sources are up on codeplex. So if you wish you could sync and try it out. Thanks for reporting this.

Unfortunately, now you will be 'punished' for releasing pyc.py.  The
following code does some funny things when compiled:

print "1"
import clr
print "2"
import os
print "3"
print os.getcwd()
import sys
print "4"
print sys.version

This works fine if you launch it as a script with IP2.  You get:

1
2
3
C:\Documents and Settings\LD003\My Documents\Python
Projects\CompileProblem
4
2.5.0 (IronPython 2.0 Beta (2.0.0.4000) on .NET 2.0.50727.1433)
>Exit code: 0

If you compile it and shove os.py and ntpath.py into the directory it
lives in (along with the required dll's)....
you get:

1
2

and then the program hangs....eats memory....and eventually dies with a
StackOverflowException.
if you comment out import os, print "3", print os.getcwd() you get:

1
2
4
2.5.0 ()

not exactly the same result.  For me this is not an urgent fix....for
other folks....you are warned.

Regards,

David
