[Python.NET] Accessing Public Functions in Module

[Brian Lloyd]

Most likely the vb.net compiler does some shenanigans and places this
(in the IL) in a place that might not be obvious (like a generated class).

If you use reflector on the assembly you can probably discover what its
real name is and try to import that from python.
