[IronPython] Using a Python-Module from other Languages over .NET?

Thanks for the answers,
but the solving writing interface classes in c# vb.net and so on, is to 
much complex for me at the moment because i can only python. Maybe when 
my module is complete finished and some .net-coders would like to use 
it, i will try that.

> In addition to the memory efficiency we get correctness in supporting re-assignment to __class__.  All of the types derived from one built-in type share the same in-memory layout.   Therefore __class__ can be assigned arbitrarily between them changing the underlying dynamic type - just like CPython.
