Haven't seen this before. Sorry. Do you have .NET 2.0 installed on your machine? -----Original Message----- From: Chris Spencer [mailto:chrisspen@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 12:59 PM To: Maksim Kozyarchuk Cc: pythondotnet@python.org Subject: Re: [Python.NET] Using Third Party C# Libraries I've copied SharpNeatLib.dll to C:\Program Files\PythonNet, C:\Program Files\PythonNet\Lib, C:\Program Files\PythonNet\Lib\site-packages, C:\Program Files\Python24, C:\Program Files\Python24\Lib, and C:\Program Files\Python24\Lib\site-packages but it still raises that exception "ImportError: cannot import name SharpNeatLib". Using Assembly.Load("SharpNeatLib.dll") raises a different exception:

Would this indicate that the SharpNeatLib.dll was built with a C# compiler incompatible with what Python.Net was built with? Chris On 2/20/07, Maksim Kozyarchuk <mkozyarchuk@funddevelopmentservices.com> wrote:

Yes. The Assembly would be SharpNeatLib, in order for this to work you need to place SharpNeatLib.dll into your PYTHON_PATH or the GAC.

import CLR from CLR.System.Reflection import Assembly Assembly.LoadWithPartialName('SharpNeatLib') from CLR.Name.Space import ClassName

I'm assuming you meant I have to replace 'TheAssembly' with some variation of SharpNeatLib.dll. Could you please be more specific? It doesn't seem to work for any combination.

import CLR from CLR.System.Reflection import Assembly Assembly.LoadWithPartialName('SharpNeatLib') import CLR.SharpNeatLib Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named SharpNeatLib

Try the following syntax.

import CLR from CLR.System.Reflection import Assembly Assembly.LoadWithPartialName('TheAssebly') from CLR.Name.Space import ClassName

Hi,

I'm new to Python.Net, and I'd like to access a C# library (SharpNeat) from Python. I tried placing it's DLL (SharpNeatLib.dll) into C:\Program Files\PythonNet\Lib\site-packages but when I try to import it I get the error:

...

...

...

import SharpNeatLib Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initSharpNeatLib)

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.
