Answer 1

You can do:

scope.SetVariable("math", DynamicHelpers.GetPythonTypeFromType(typeof(System.Math)));

DynamicHelpers is in IronPython.Runtime.Types.

And did you know how to create a ScripeScope that has parent scope? – Plumbism

There's no way to do this - while Scope's have a Parent property ScriptScope's don't expose this. The parent property on Scope's is also going away. If you want to chain lookups you should create a ScriptScope w/ your own custom IAttributesCollection which knows how to look in the parent scope. – Staten

Thank you.I found I could create a Scope with a parent scope using Scope(Scope parent, IAttributesCollection dictionary), and HostingHelpers can create a ScriptScope from a Scope. – Plumbism
