[IronPython] __clrtype__ and generics

[Lukas Cenovsky]

Hi,
I haven't tried your code, but there are currently 2 small issues with 
clrtype.py I know of:

1. You cannot use iterable for @returns and @accepts - see 
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=25448 I 
think your issue is similar.

2. You cannot use Python classes with clrtype.ClrClass metaclass in 
@accepts and @returns.

Both issues can be fixen in validate_clr_types function in clrtype.py. 
Here is my version:

def validate_clr_types(signature_types, var_signature = False):
    if not isinstance(signature_types, tuple):
        signature_types = (signature_types,)
    for t in signature_types:
        clr_type = clr.GetClrType(t)
        if t == Void:
            raise TypeError("Void cannot be used in signature")
        if clr.GetPythonType(clr_type) != t and \
                clr.GetPythonType(clr_type) != clr.GetPythonType(t):
            raise Exception, "Invalid CLR type %s" % str(t)
        if not var_signature:
            if clr_type.IsByRef:
                raise TypeError("Byref can only be used as arguments and 
locals")
            # ArgIterator is not present in Silverlight
            if hasattr(System, "ArgIterator") and t == System.ArgIterator:
                raise TypeError("Stack-referencing types can only be 
used as arguments and locals")
