[Ironpython-users] Scripting Ansys with IronPython - Unable to callvalues from dictionary

[Ossi Heinonen]

Back in business.

Steve, you are absolutely right! The type of the keys is something 
called DataReference which seems to refer to XML. But with repr() I 
should come up with a new dictionary with same keys - double quoted but 
that doesn't matter - and same values. And that should work very well 
for me.

Thanks Steve and all of you! You have been very helpful!

Best regards
Ossi
