I'm using Python 2.5 so I have limited .net support. Despite this I need to call a c#.net class library from a Python module, so

I created a c++/CLI mixed dll with the appropriate extern c functions to create a python extension dll, all great so far. (although I did have to rename from .dll to .pyd)

I then call my c#.net class library from the c++/CLI mixed dll and here is the problem:

I can only get it to work by loading the c#.net class library using Assembley::LoadFrom and calling methods using reflection.

Or to put it another way, if I reference my c#.net class library from the c++/CLI mixed dll then when I consume it in Python it fails to load the c#.net library despite me copying it to \Python25 and \Python25\dlls.

If anybody can shed some light on why when in the python environment can't find my class library and how I can help it to find it, that would be a great help.

I never did get to the bottom of this, ended up loading the class library dynamically and using reflection to call it. I think in may be something to do with dll initialization and the timing and order of things.
