ironpython

I have the following problem: I got an old application which is written in python. This application allows the user to specify small python steps which will be executed, python steps are basically small python scripts, I call them steps because the execution of this application involves other steps like executing something from commandline. These python steps are stored as python code in an xml file. Now I want to rewrite the application by using C# .NET. Is there a best practise solution to do something like this? I don't want to call python as external programm and pass the actual python

I was able to connect to SQL server Analysis service in Python using Microsoft.AnalysisServices.dll , and now I can't execute query on cube. I've tried Execute method same as following: amoServer.Execute('select from finance') After issuing Execute method I have this error: <Microsoft.AnalysisServices.XmlaError object at 0x000000000000002B [Microsoft.AnalysisServices.XmlaError]> Note: I'm using IronPython with Python 2.7 on Windows Server 64Bit. What's the problem? its better use Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.dll and mdx query. and set query result in Datasets in Ststem.Data assembly

To embed some IronPython Code into C# I want to use the ScriptEngine using IronPython.Hosting; using Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting; I found the reference for IronPython, but where is the necessary reference for Scripting.Hosting? I can't find it within VisualStudio 2008, targeting .Net 3.5. It looks like this is part of the DLR binaries ... more information here: https://blogs.msdn.com/seshadripv/archive/2008/06/24/how-to-write-a-simple-dlr-host-in-c-using-hosting-api.aspx The DLR is actually broken into 2 parts: the "inner layer" which is included in .NET 4.0 and is part of System.Core.dll (and

This is pretty simple but I'd love a pretty, pythonic way of doing it. Basically, given a dictionary, return the subdictionary that contains only those keys that start with a certain string. » d = {'Apple': 1, 'Banana': 9, 'Carrot': 6, 'Baboon': 3, 'Duck': 8, 'Baby': 2} » print slice(d, 'Ba') {'Banana': 9, 'Baby': 2, 'Baboon': 3} This is fairly simple to do with a function: def slice(sourcedict, string): newdict = {} for key in sourcedict.keys(): if key.startswith(string): newdict[key] = sourcedict[key] return newdict But surely there is a nicer, cleverer, more readable solution?
