[IronPython] Safe execution of python scripts on my .net application

[Nicolás Buttarelli]

Hi again, thanks for your clear response.

I was trying to do what you proposed but it is not working. I am receiving
an exception:

*Test method
CadworX3WCFRestTest.IronPython.SafeScriptExecutionTest.writingAFileTest
threw exception:  System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Type
is not resolved for member
'Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting.ScriptRuntimeSetup,Microsoft.Scripting,
Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'..
*
I tried to find a solution but I couldn't. This is the minimal code that I
am running to get this exception (I have removed all the security stuff but
apparently that does not resolve the problem):

*AppDomain aSandboxedDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("Sandboxed Domain");*
*
*
*ScriptEngine engine = Python.CreateEngine(aSandboxedDomain);*
*ScriptSource source = engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(pythonScript);*
*SriptScope scope = engine.CreateScope();*
*source.Execute(scope);*

The exception is thronged in this line:
*ScriptEngine engine = Python.CreateEngine(aSandboxedDomain);*


Do you have any idea which could be the problem?

Thanks again,
Nicolas
