Can someone explain why this code:
import sys
sys.path.append("C:\\WINDOWS\\system32")
import clr
clr.AddReferenceToFile("wiimotelib.dll")
works fine with IronPython 2.6, but fails in IronPython 2.7 alpha 1 with an IOException, and the message:
Could not add reference to assembly wiimotelib.dll
Is this new behaviour in 2.7, or is it an alpha release bug?
Could this be a .NET 2 vs .NET 4 problem? IronPython 2.7A1 is .NET 4.0 only. 2.6 had both .NET 2 and .NET 4 versions. If the assembly is a .NET 2 assembly it might not load on the .NET 4 CLR.
