the correct semantic is myarray = Array[int]((0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9))

i wasn't able to find the correct way to create an instance of a
multidimensional Array... i think that actually it is not possible,
but maybe someone can correct me here.

I'm at the very start of my Python embedding journey, but since now i
prefer to work with native Python objects on that side, and then deal
with messy stuff at the messy level (read c#). So list and tuples
become PyList, PyTuples and you can iterate or convert them
appropriately. I do not know however if that is the correct way to do
such things.....

hope it helps
