Pyro4 and IronPython problem

Hi

I've had Pyro4 running in a automated software test environment for a 
year or so, kicking off processes between Windows and Linux machines 
very successfully. Last week I realized that I must switch from CPython 
to IronPython to get better responsiveness from python threads.

I'm using Pyro4 4.16 and IronPython 2.7.3. My previously working Pyro4 
remote command execution code fails under IronPython. See example code 
below, and the resulting stack trace below that.

> from systest.Constants import WEBHOST_PYRO_ADDRESS
> import Pyro4.utils.flame

I've read about the Pyro4 workaround for IronPython. Is there something 
more I need to know to get this to work?

Thanks
