Most likely the vb.net compiler does some shenanigans and places this
(in the IL) in a place that might not be obvious (like a generated class).

If you use reflector on the assembly you can probably discover what its
real name is and try to import that from python.

Can you access these same functions in C#? Maybe what you have to do is write a wrapper library for your VB.NET library in C#, and have Python access the library through the the wrapper.

We have an application that was developed in Visual Basic, and would
like to use Python for .NET to extend it.  I've played around with it a
bit, and everything works fine if it is within a class in the .Net assembly.

However, there are a number of components that exist as public functions
within a module.  I cannot seem to access them from Python for .NET.

My latest session is shown below, where I try to import and use the
function, "NonQuery" within the module, "SQL_Module" to no avail.

Thanks for any help, and thanks for this wonderful piece of software.  I
can't wait to start programming some things with this instead of Visual
Basic.
