Various Know-how

Embedding IronPython code in a module

How to
  • Select a DA in your module
  • Insert a new DF with ID 004336 and change DF-Verhalten to py
  • Close the DA and reopen it
  • Expand the DI and paste your code into IronPython Skript
  • Save and start the module
  • Add the following code at the top:
     # coding: latin-1"
  • Code that looks like this in C#:
    GetValue<T>()
  • Will look like this in IronPython:
    GetValue[T]()

Notes

  • Keep in mind for C#, Visual Basic and Visual C++ it is "String" but in Python it is "str"
  • For reason of the IronPython bug, the indexers of the generic .NET collections will not work if a first access to them was not correct (for example the indexer requires int but you put a string value). So use the attribute _getitem_ instead of [] explicitly or please be sure that indexers are used correct.

Reload modules on local client without client restart

Information
  • In order to apply code changes without the need of a client restart, use the following guideline.

How to

  • Insert the following code prior to the import statement of the target module:
    sys.modules.Remove("MyModule")
  • After the statement above, place your unchanged import statement:
    from MyModule import MyModule
  • The conditions for your AddReference-statement stays the same as before - it needs to stay prior to your import statement but it can stay before or after the statement of step 1.
