Replace an instance of a .NET object with an IronPython object

Question

I am trying to do the following:

• Get an instance of an object defined in C #
  • It implements a specific interface.
  • This field is on another instance of a C # class
• Wrap it with an IronPython proxy that logs method calls
• Place a wrapper instead of the original object

Here is an example showing what I'm trying to do. In fact, the interface IWoofhas many other methods on it.

C # classes and interface:

namespace Foo
{
    public interface IWoof { string DoSomething(); }

    public class Bar
    {
        public Bar() { Woof = new WoofImp(); }
        public IWoof Woof { get; set; }
    }

    public class WoofImp : IWoof
    {
        public string DoSomething()
        {
            return "DoSomething executing in C#";
        }
    }

}

I want to take bar.Woofand replace it with IronPython proxy. I want to do this with IronPython Script. I have tried different things.

First try: getattr override

I defined Wrapper as follows:

class Wrapper(object):

    def __init__(self, obj):
        self._obj = obj

    def __getattr__(self, name):
        print '__getattr__ called'
        if name == "DoSomething":
           return self.__DoSomething
        else:
            return object.__getattr__(self, name)

    def __DoSomething(self):
        result = self._obj.DoSomething()
        return result + " AND DoSomething executing in Python"

This works great, as you would expect:

import Foo
bar = Foo.Bar()
woof = Wrapper(bar.Woof)
print woof.DoSomething()

> DoSomething executing in C# AND DoSomething executing in Python

, bar.Woof , :

bar.Woof = woof_wrapper

Answer 1

, __getattr__. :

class Wrapper_IWoof(object, Foo.IWoof):

    def __init__(self, obj):
        self._obj = obj

    def DoSomething(self):
        result = self._obj.DoSomething()
        return result + " AND DoSomething executing in Python"
