[IronPython] How to call a function passing parameters

[Tomas Matousek]

You can do:

var runtime = ScriptRuntime.Create();
var scope = runtime.CreateScope("python");

scope.Execute(@"
def test(a):
  return a
");

var test = scope.GetVariable<Func<string, string>>("test");

Console.WriteLine(test(my_a));

Subject: [IronPython] How to call a function passing parameters

Please help me to call an IronPython function passing parameters from
a C# method.

Let's say I have a ScriptEngine and also a ScriptScope. In the scope I
have a Python function like this:

def test(a):
    return a

Then in some C# method I have something like:

string my_a = "A";

How can I call that function passing to it my_a in place of the "a"
parameter? I want to pass the actual object, not just its value, so I
can pass complex objects and manipulate them in IronPython.

Without passing parameters, I can already do this:

var functionCall = string.Format("{0}()", FunctionName);
ScriptSource function =
engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(functionCall,
SourceCodeKind.Expression);
function.Execute(scope);

Thanks for any help.
