Is there a litle bit extra I need to do, or am I barking up the wrong tree? I suppose I'm looking for something that will allow me to import .net dlls as if they were python modules.

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that before importing something from .net dlls, you should load them first.

import CLR from CLR.System.Reflection import Assembly

my_dll_name = Assembly.LoadWithPartialName( path to dll that does not include .dll extension )

#import namespaces from CLR import TopNamespace

Aha! Thanks! This has moved me on a lot, but I don't think I'm quite there yet: 1. Installing Python for .NET as a standalone, and using it in the interactive session, all of the above, apart from 'from CLR import TopNamespace' works. 'from CLR import TopNamespace' gets 'ImportError: cannot import name TopNamespace'. 2. Installing Python for .NET as part of my existing Python installation, and using it from within Pythonwin, none of the above works: 'import CLR' raises a 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' - I am alerted by a 'Just-In-Time Debugging' pop-up window and Pythonwin terminates 'in an unusual way'. Should Python for .NET be used only from its own interactive prompt? Why can't it import TopNamespace and can I do without it? Thanks again for your help. This is going to be very handy: Windows and .NET are alien environments to me (I work with linux and python). Best Ivan

Duh. Of course I replace 'TopNamespace' with my own namespace. Please regard this question as a typo. Best Ivan
