[IronPython] Extension methods in python

[Marty Nelson]

I actually want to use an object instance of a .NET custom class that I
pass in before the script is invoked from c#.  Our current scripts look
something like:

 

row.PropertySet["Foo"]["Bar"].Value = x

 

and it would be much better if script authors could write:

 

row.Foo.Bar = x

 

So I'm looking to have an on the fly function read the metadata of
expected keys and then code generated python class wrapper for the
script author to consume.

Marty, from what I understand you are passing a variable into python
engine and want extension methods there? You can use something like
that:

import clr
import System

class MyString(System.String):
  pass;

  def ToFoo(self):
    return self.upper()+' FooBarBaz'


a = MyString("Hello world!");
print a.ToFoo();



That would print "HELLO WORLD! FooBarBaz.

You can't put methods on System.String though, but you can create new
object from System.String...

Is there the equivalent of extension method in python?  I want to put a
variable into the script scope and create extension methods for it.
Does this make sense and is it possible?
