I forgot to add "Implements Iface.Func" to method Func, I hope this doesn't confuse my problem. It is added below. The private method Func is accessible in VB.NET using the public IFACE. This is intended so the class does not see these methods, but it can access them using the IFACE property. A protected method doesn't provide the abstraction. Thanks, -Alex Feihong Hsu wrote:

This is not supported. You can't access private methods in C# or VB.NET either, so why should Python.NET be able to access them? But one thing to note is that you CAN access protected methods directly in Pyhon.NET (you don't have to make a subclass to use a protected method).

I am having trouble using Python.NET in accessing class interface methods that are declared private. As an example,

Public Interface Iface Property Func() As Boolean End Interface

Public Class Foo Implements Iface

Private Function Func() As Boolean Implements Iface.Func Return True End Function

Public ReadOnly Property IFACE() As Iface Get Return Me End Get End Property End Class

Then using Python 2.5 with Python.Net 2.0 alpha 2, I cannot access the method. Is this supported?

import clr import Foo f = Foo() f.IFACE # OK f.IFACE.Func() # results in Attribute error

Thanks, Alex

Cool. Thanks Brian, this worked! -Alex Brian Lloyd-5 wrote:

have you tried explicitly calling this through the interface? You need to do something similar to a cast in C#:

from mynamespace import Foo, Iface

inst = Foo() # create an instance

wrapped = Iface(inst) # 'cast' to the interface

wrapped.Func() # should now work

hope this helps,
