Tutorial: creating a Grasshopper component with the Python GHPY compiler

GhPython in Rhino WIP ships with an all-Rhino Python compiler that can be used to create .Net compiled assemblies containing compiled instructions. Unlike other methods that are based on embedding a Python code string in a C# component, this speeds up code execution and makes reverse engineering more difficult. There are two options for the process of making a component, #1 is extremely simplified and #2 is more advanced. The component is able to pick up names, descriptions and help from the or…

I just tried this:

from ghpythonlib.componentbase import executingcomponent as component
import Grasshopper, GhPython
import System
import Rhino
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
from Rhino.Geometry import Point3d as p3

class MyComponent(component):

    def RunScript(self, P):
        X = reader.GetString("SomeData");
        return X

    def read(self, P):
        X = reader.GetString("SomeData");
        return X

But I’m getting an error: “solution exception: global name reader is not defined”. Is there a module that I need to import?
