When I try to instantiate a C#-defined generic class in python, I see an error if the generic class is nested within another class.
Consider 3 types of classes
namespace Bar
{
public class GenericClass<T>
{
public T Dummy;
}
public static class FooStatic
{
public class GenericClassNestedStatic<T>
{
public T Dummy;
}
}
public class Foo
{
public class GenericClassNested<T>
{
public T Dummy;
}
}
}
If I run this in python, it executes without issues
from System import UInt32
a = getattr(Bar, "GenericClass`1")
b = a[UInt32]()
However, when I try
foo = Bar.Foo()
c = getattr(foo, "GenericClassNested`1")
d = c[UInt32]()
or
c = getattr(Bar.FooStatic, "GenericClassNestedStatic`1")
d = c[UInt32]()
they both result in
d = c[UInt32]()
TypeError: no type matches params
Is this capability simply not supported, or am I approaching this incorrectly?
Additionally, if I rename my classes the same with a differently scoped context,
namespace Bar
{
public class GenericClass<T>
{
public T Dummy;
}
public class Foo
{
public class GenericClass<T>
{
public T Dummy;
}
}
}
when I execute
foo = Bar.Foo()
c = getattr(foo, "GenericClass`1")
d = c[UInt32]()
this succeeds, but it seems to create an instance of Bar.GenericClass rather than Bar.Foo.GenericClass
