[Python.NET] Accessing class interface with private methods

[Brian Lloyd]

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,

-Brian
