Inheriting from abstract .NET class
by Henning Moeller Aug. 18, 2017

Aug. 18, 2017

Hello out there, I'm trying to inherit from an abstract .NET base class in Python (2.7). I'm a Python n00b but from what I understood... Here's what I managed to do in Python only and which works fine: [File: room.py] ------- import abc class Room(object): def __init__(self, door): self.door = door def open(self): self.door.open() def close(self): self.door.close() def is_open(self): return self.door.is_open() class Door(object): __metaclass__ = abc.ABCMeta def open(self): if not self.is_open(): self.toggle() def close(self): if self.is_open(): self.toggle() @abc.abstractmethod def is_open(self): pass @abc.abstractmethod def toggle(self): pass class StringDoor(Door): def __init__(self): self.status = "closed" def is_open(self): return self.status == "open" def toggle(self): if self.status == "open": self.status = "closed" else: self.status = "open" class BooleanDoor(Door): def __init__(self): self.status = True def is_open(self): return self.status def toggle(self): self.status = not (self.status) Door.register(StringDoor) Door.register(BooleanDoor) ------- Now, all I did was to replace the abstract base class Door by a C# representation: [File: PythonAbstractBaseClass.dll] ------- namespace PythonAbstractBaseClass { public abstract class Door { public virtual void Open() { if (!IsOpen()) Toggle(); } public virtual void Close() { if (IsOpen()) Toggle(); } public abstract bool IsOpen(); public abstract void Toggle(); } } ------- Removing Door from the Python part and importing it from the .NET assembly instead, I end up with this: [File: room2.py] ------- import clr import abc from PythonAbstractBaseClass import Door class Room(object): def __init__(self, door): self.door = door def open(self): self.door.open() def close(self): self.door.close() def is_open(self): return self.door.is_open() class StringDoor(Door): def __init__(self): self.status = "closed" def is_open(self): return self.status == "open" def toggle(self): if self.status == "open": self.status = "closed" else: self.status = "open" class BooleanDoor(Door): def __init__(self): self.status = True def is_open(self): return self.status def toggle(self): self.status = not (self.status) Door.register(StringDoor) Door.register(BooleanDoor) ------- But this fails with the following error message: Door.register(StringDoor) AttributeError: type object 'Door' has no attribute 'register' >From what I understood about abc.ABCMeta, this metaclass contributes the 'register' method. It seems that abstract C# classes do not come with the same metaclass. They instead come with metaclass "CLR Metatype" which obviously does not provide 'register'. But if I drop the call to 'register', on instantiating one of the derived classes, I receive the error message sdoor = StringDoor() TypeError: cannot instantiate abstract class Is there a way to inherit from an abstract .NET class or is this is missing feature? Thanks in advance, Henning

PythonNet on Cygwin
by Nikhil Garg June 21, 2017

June 21, 2017

Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone knows how to make Python for .Net work on cygwin installation of python. I have been looking around and find a mixed bag of information. If anyone knows of the working version of Python for .Net and its dependency, I would appreciate if you could share it with me. Currently, I am using a generic windows version and it works just fine, but I need it to work on Cygwin version of python. I appreciate any helpful replies. Thanks, Nikhil

cx_freeze and python.net
by Boris Burdin May 22, 2017

May 22, 2017

Hello everybody, I'm trying to build a python.net application using cx-freeze . Once the application is built, I put in my final folder the Python.Runtime.dll. but it stil doesn't seem to work . Actually, when I run the .exe file, nothing is happening. So, I wonder if there were something else to do, another dll to put in the folder, or any option to use with cx_freeze when building the application ? i would be very grateful if you could help me on this matter .. Thanks in advance, Boris

Hi Python and .NET developers, I would like to purchase a copy of this advanced book about Python for pythonnet contributors: https://thehackerguidetopython.com The cost of professional license to share with 50 people is 199 USD ($), but I will pay it in full if at least 10 people agree to contribute any amount towards the full cost. The book is sold for 29$ for one person. The author agreed to this deal. The author is OpenStack Project Team Leader and Technical Committee Member.

Adding new attributes to .Net classes is unstable
by Torget Øystein Idema Nov. 23, 2016

Nov. 23, 2016

Hi, I have a problem with adding attributes to .Net classes being unstable. E.g. from System import TimeSpan TimeSpan.my_method = lambda self: self.TotalMinutes ts = TimeSpan.FromHours(1) ts.my_method() This code will sometimes work and other times fail with the exception 'TimeSpan' object has no attribute 'my_method'. The failure rate is variable and for some scripts/program it will work all the time while for others it will not work at all. It seems to fail a lot more often on Python 3.5 than on Python 3.4. If I look at either dir(ts) or ts.__class__.__dict__ the method is there even when the call to my_method fails. I have tried to look into the PythonNet code for clues, but as far as I can see the new attribute is registered by MetaType. tp_setattro without error, but the method is still not found. What I want to ask you is 1. Is adding new attributes to a .Net class supported behaviour or does it work more or less by accident? 2. Any pointers to how the attribute lookup is handled for .Net classes is appreciated. Currently I have not found if and where PythonNet is involved in the actual attribute lookup process. Cheers, Øystein Idema Torget

Hi David, Can you please give access to pythonnet on Test PyPI to me? https://testpypi.python.org/pypi/pythonnet For example 3 people have access to production PyPI installation: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pythonnet/2.2.0.dev1 Thanks, Denis On Mon, Jun 22, 2015 at 4:50 PM, David Anthoff <anthoff(a)berkeley.edu> wrote: > I have the credentials to the pypi listing, and I uploaded the one dev > release we made.
