[IronPython] Return value from Execute()

[Mark Senko]

So simple! Casting to IEnumerable worked great!

Maybe I should have mentioned that I'm relatively new to C#, too.
I didn't realize you could cast to an interface, though now that I think
about it, it makes perfect sense.

Thank you, Jeff.

Have you tried casting to IEnumerable? That has always* worked for me.

    var _pythonRes = source.Execute(_pscope);
    if(_pythonRes is IEnumerable) { ... }

Or, in C# 4, you should be able to make _pythonRes dynamic:
    dynamic _pythonRes = source.Execute(_pscope);
    foreach(dynamic r in _pythonRes) { ... }

Whichever works better for you.
