Hello,

I'm trying to set an object property based on an indexer as described in the C# example here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh964567.aspx, but both examples fail with "TypeError: unindexable object"

Python code looks like this:

criteria = ManagementPackClassCriteria("Name = 'Microsoft.Windows.Computer'")

classes = mg.EntityTypes.GetClasses(criteria)

CIClass = classes[0]

instance = CreatableEnterpriseManagementObject(mg, CIClass)

print "instance: "+str(instance) # this isnt None

mprop = CIClass["PrincipalName"]

instance[mprop].Value = "foo"

C# .NET equivalent would be something like this:

ManagementPackClass CIClass = mp.GetClass("Microsoft.Windows.Computer");

ManagementPackProperty mprop = CIClass["PrincipalName"];

instance[mprop].Value = "foo";
Error appears to be thrown in pythonnet classobject.cs (https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet/blob/master/src/runtime/classobject.cs#L174)

Are there any back doors through pythonnet/System.Runtime.something that i can use to get around this? Works fine with IronPython, however i cant package up & use AWS boto3 library with IronPython which i also need (but can with py2exe + pythonnet) - so ideally want to use pythonnet.

Thanks!
