[IronPython] Dict convertion question

[Dino Viehland]

That will work unless the dict contains some objects who's repr isn't really a usable repr - eg <some object at 0x00000002D>.  You could even just read the string from the file & eval it.

I don't know much about ToCodeString, but from the name, it should produce a string that can be treated as Python code.  If you were to write something like
    mydict =
into the file, name the file mydict.py, and run that file -- wouldn't you end up with your dictionary back in a Python variable?
