<div>Well in the example I gave, the type of class foo would genrally be something like IronPython.NewTypes.System.Object_1$2. There's not going to be any "native" CLR code to which you can pass a List<IronPython.NewTypes.System.Object_1$2>, and if you're passing the data to other Python code, you may as well do it as a Python list or tuple. It's the "dynamic" thing to do :).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>List<IronPython.NewTypes.System.Object_1$2> isn't even type-safe for Python classes because IronPython maintains a cache of generated types and will reuse a type it has previously generated for any new class you define that's compatible with a previously-defined class.</div>

<div>This will get you a CLR type directly from your class object:</div>

<div>Is the following the only way to create a generic containing a python class?<br><br><br>from System.Collections.Generic import List<br>from System import Type<br><br>class Foo:<br> >>class stuff<<<br>
<br>l = List[Type.GetType(Foo())]()<br><br><br>I assume this is the nature of dynamic typing, but is there a way to get the type from the classobj, and not an instance?<br><br></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
