[IronPython] How to place static class in script name space

Maybe scriptScope.SetVariable("App", DynamicHelpers.GetPythonTypeFromType(typeof(App))) can help here?

The C# typeof() operator returns the .NET type object (the same as you get from GetType() of an instance), and the DynamicHelpers.GetPythonTypeFromType() method returns the corresponding python type object for that .NET type.

I successfully used it to expose types (constructors, static members) to IronPython 2.6 scripts.

(DynamicHelpers is defined in the IronPython.Runtime.Types namespace.)

HTH,
Markus
