Environment

  • Pythonnet version: 2.5.2
  • Python version: 3.8.10
  • Operating System: Windows 10
  • .NET Runtime: .NET Core 3.1 or .NET 5.0

Details

  • Describe what you were trying to get done.

    I'm taking my very first steps using Python. I'm a C# developer who has built a .NET Class Library that runs in any .NET Core environment and some of my users prefer Python to PowerShell.
    I see the homepage has a Getting Started section:
    A good way to start is to interactively explore .NET usage in python interpreter by following along with the examples in this document. If you get stuck, there are also a number of demos and unit tests located in the source directory of the distribution that can be helpful as examples.
    So, I spend some time looking at the rest of the homepage demos and pythonnet/demo/helloform.py but don't find anything related to the relatively new .NET Core Class Library support from Python.NET. I really want to load my DLL and use some of the types in it.
    Eventually (after chasing my tail and wandering around), I come across the wiki and especially:
    Tutorial: How To Call A Dynamic Library
