[IronPython] Accessing scope variables

[Sree Pillai]

Hello,

We are hosting IronPython in our Windows forms-based application to allow our customers to write scripts. We allow customers to use our own variables within the script.

public class Variable
{
     string Name;
     int Value;
     ..
}

..
Variable v1 = new Variable("Length", 10);  // Create a variable with Name=Length and Value=10
vars.Add(v1);
Variable v2 = new Variable("Width", 10); 
vars.Add(v1);
vars.Add(v2);


We set custom variables in scriptScope like this.
       
..
            foreach (IVariable aVariable in vars)
            {
                scriptScope.SetVariable(aVariable.Name, aVariable);
            }
..

With this, user can write a function like this

def CalcArea() :
    return Length * Width


In our application, we are dealing with hundreds of variables and functions. As the user deletes or modifies a Variable (here Length and Width), they would like to know where the variables are used. In this example, the variable Length and Width are used in CalcArea function. I can't find a way to identify the list of custom variables used within a function using the API.

Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.
