Description
Environment
- Pythonnet version: 3.0.5
- Python version: both 3.12 and 3.13
- Operating System: MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1
- .NET Runtime: both 7.0.410 and 8.0.403
Details
- Describe what you were trying to get done.
Remove an element from a .NET Dictionary using the del operator (__delitem__).
- What commands did you run to trigger this issue?
If you can provide a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example this will help us understand the issue.
I reduced the problem to the following example, simply run from the command line:
import pythonnet
pythonnet.load('coreclr')
print(pythonnet.get_runtime_info(), end='\n\n')
import clr
from System.Collections.Generic import Dictionary
from System import Int32, String
DT = Dictionary[Int32, String]
d = DT()
d[10] = '10'
d[20] = '20'
print('__delitem__ is implemented by {}'.format(
next(iter(cls for cls in DT.mro() if hasattr(cls, '__delitem__')))
))
del d[20] # crash- If there was a crash, please include the traceback here.
The program crashed with the following output:

Notice that __delitem__ is also implemented by the MutableMappingMixin class here, which simply calls the Remove() method, but Dictionary has its own implementation (that I can't find), which takes precedence.
The former would have worked correctly (tested), as Remove() works as usual.
