DLR Hosting API : How to create a ScriptRuntime object without using App.Config files using language specific hosting API

This previous post demonstrates the use of App.Config files to create script runtimes to host dynamic languages in an application. It is also possible to create runtimes without using a config file.

The API to create a runtime and a python engine without using a config file is

ScriptRuntime runtime = IronPython.Hosting.Python.CreateRuntime();

A reference to the IronPython assemblies – IronPython.dll and IronPython.Modules.dll are needed for this call to work. The previous sample already has the proper references in place and this call would automatically work in that project.
