[Python.NET] How to pass a Type to a method?

[Tribble, Brett]

I don't think the python.net clr module supports most of the methods etc. that the IronPython one does:

Can you use the following instead?

import System
...

...
array = Array.CreateInstance(System.Int32, rows, columns)

I would like to use System.Array.

The following code is running with iron python

import clr
import System
from System import Array
from System import Int32
from clr import GetClrType
rows = 1
columns = 2
#method: Array.CreateInstance(Type, Int32, Int32)
array = Array.CreateInstance(GetClrType(Int32), rows, columns)
print array.GetLength(0)
print array.GetLength(1)

ouptput:
1
2

The same code throws an import error in python for .NET
    from clr import GetClrType
ImportError: cannot import name GetClrType

Is another syntax for python for .Net necessary?
Or is there perhaps another method to pass a Type to a method?
