[IronPython] import issue

[Tomas Matousek]

BTW, I've submitted a change recently (it should be already available on CodePlex) that allows you to simplify the below code to:

ScriptEngine engine = IronPython.Hosting.Python.CreateEngine();
ScriptScope scope = engine.CreateScope();
engine.Execute("import re", scope);

or if you don't need to inspect the scope you can omit it as well:

ScriptEngine engine = IronPython.Hosting.Python.CreateEngine();
engine.Execute("import re");

The Execute method now uses SourceCodeKind.AutoDetect as a default value. Python parser recognizes this new value and parses the code regardless of whether it is an expression, a single statement or multiple statements. The value returned by Execute is either the value of the expression (if the code is in fact an expression), the value of the last expression statement (if available) or null otherwise.

You can still use an explicit parameter to CreateScriptSourceFromString that restricts the kind to expression, statement, etc.

The most likely explanation is that you're missing a reference to IronPython.Modules.dll.

Does anyone know why the following gives 'No module named re' error:

ScriptEngine engine = IronPython.Hosting.Python.CreateEngine();
ScriptScope scope = engine.CreateScope();
ScriptSource src = engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString( "import re", Microsoft.Scripting.SourceCodeKind.Statements );
src.Execute( scope );
