[IronPython] Newbie: convert string to python expression??

[xkrja]

Thanks!

I'm using Ironpython with Silverlight so I can't get access to Windows.Forms

Please bear with me :-) New stuff's showing up all the time. The solution
you proposed worked but there must be something I don't get with the scope.
Please look at my snippet below:


import clr, sys
clr.AddReference("Mapack, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=null")
from Mapack import *
.
.
.

def inputBox_KeyDown(s, e):
  
  key = e.Key.value__
  result = root.inputBox.Text
  if key == 3: #If 'Enter' key is pressed
       try:
           try:
               root.message.Text = eval(result)
           except SyntaxError:
              exec result in context
       except Exception, e:
           print 'Unhandled exception', e
       root.inputBox.Text = ""                  
       m = Matrix(2,2)                 #NOTICE: If I hard code this
definition in the function it works
       print m                            #but if I try to type
m=Matrix(2,2) in inputBox it says:
                                            #"Matrix is not defined"


I can create an object of the Matrix()-class if I code it straight into the
function as shown in my snippet above but I can't type m=Matrix(2,2) in the
'inputBox' and then execute it. Then I get an exception: "Matrix is not
defined". 

How can I work around this?

Thanks very much!
