[Python.NET] RunString does not work

[Seshagiri Cherukuri]

thanks for your reply. I had the necessary imports in place but was still
seeing the error.
The following code from Michael Eddington resolved the issue (I think the
current problem is because of the dictionary being used)

public static PyObject RunString(string code)
       {
               PyObject module = ImportModule("__main__");
               PyDict globals = new PyDict(Runtime.PyModule_GetDict(
module.Handle));

       if (locals == null)
       {
           locals = new PyDict(Runtime.PyDict_New());
       }

                       Runtime.Incref(globals.Handle);
                       Runtime.Incref(locals.Handle);
       IntPtr result = Runtime.PyRun_String(code, (IntPtr)257,
globals.Handle, locals.Handle);

       if (result == IntPtr.Zero)
       {
           return null;
       }

       return new PyObject(result);
   }
