Aha! Thanks! This has moved me on a lot, but I don't think I'm quite
there yet:
1. Installing Python for .NET as a standalone, and using it in the
interactive session, all of the above, apart from 'from CLR import
TopNamespace' works. 'from CLR import TopNamespace' gets 'ImportError:
cannot import name TopNamespace'.
2. Installing Python for .NET as part of my existing Python
installation, and using it from within Pythonwin, none of the above
works: 'import CLR' raises a 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' - I am
alerted by a 'Just-In-Time Debugging' pop-up window and Pythonwin
terminates 'in an unusual way'.
Should Python for .NET be used only from its own interactive prompt?
Why can't it import TopNamespace and can I do without it?
Thanks again for your help. This is going to be very handy: Windows and
.NET are alien environments to me (I work with linux and python).
Best
Ivan
