Even if you get a 1.1-compatible version of the DLL, or you build Python.Net 2
from source, you will need to learn the namespace(s) and name(s) of the C#
class(es) you want to use. From what you have below, it seems that the
LoadWithPartialName call worked (so you don't need to copy the DLL to
everywhere in the file system) but the import didn't.
You need to know the name of the C# namespace and class to import -- as Maksim
wrote
from CLR.Name.Space import ClassName
For you that would probably be something like
from CLR.SharpNeatVendorName.SharpNeat import MainClass
assuming that they follow the convention of putting their work in a namespace
under a namespace based on their company/organization name.
The magic of Python.Net's CLR module is that it makes the C# DLL available
dynamically -- but you have to know the namespace(s) and class(es).
