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 UInt32a = 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 paramsIs 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 ofBar.GenericClass rather thanBar.Foo.GenericClass
