.Net expects an event to be defined by the class that implements INotifyPropertyChanged interface.
However, as python does not support event type, IronPython created two methods at its interface with .Net: add_PropertyChanged and remove_PropertyChanged. hence, whenever .Net would add or remove a handler from this event, these two methods are called instead. then a separate python class is created within IronPython to actual track and invoke callback functions.
['PropertyChanged', '__class__', '__cmp__', '__delattr__', '__doc__', '__format__', '__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__iter__', '__module__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', 'add_PropertyChanged', 'remove_PropertyChanged']
so, in principle the same implementation as in IronPython should work. but instead, I got stackoverflow
make_event() and event() and even_handler() classes are copied from IronPython examples, used to track and invoke callback functions
One possible reason might be that the types specified in @clr.clrmethod is not correct, therefore, .Net could not find the right method to call.
