[IronPython] Statefulness of CompiledCode

[Keith J. Farmer]

So what you want is a script initializer, right?  Try clearing SomeClass.fooListClassVariable at the start of your script.

I haven't used the CompiledCode feature, but from the looks of it, the script you get is bound to an engine which defines the execution scope.  IMHO, what you're seeing is the correct behavior.  You're executing some pre-compiled block of code multiple times against the same engine; it follows that execution would be stateful in this case.  

This isn't like executing the same application multiple times, since *that* involves a different process each time.  Instead, you're executing the same delegate method multiple times within a single process.

Actually I do want a class variable as I described.  By design  
"fooListClassVariable" should be shared for all instances of "SomeClass" 
during one execution.  However, I don't want it to remember the value on 
subsequent calls to "compiledScript.Execute()", which is what is 
happening.  I would expect that every time I execute the CompiledCode it 
would not retain any state information about the last time it was 
executed.  This would be sort of like executing a c# application twice, 
and seeing class variables initialized to the values from the first 
execution.  Maybe I am misusing the CompiledCode class.
