How do I make use of .NET features in IronPython?
Users have to opt in to this functionality. No new keywords have been added, and the existing language semantics are unchanged. A “clr” module is available for import to turn on .NET extensions. See the IronPython Tutorial for good examples (if you’re reading the FAQ on the web, the tutorial.htm document is in the tutorial directory where you installed IronPython). Using the “import clr” statement adds methods to built-in types in some cases; for example, dir(int) will show a ToString attribute. Such effects only happen in the context of the module that contains the “import clr” statement.
