When you import the assembly it will be referenced by the assembly name
defined in the project settings (which is what the dll will be named
as). GAC isn't required ( i never do that ).
I just did a quick test here. Made an empty Class project via Visual
Studio 2008.
Then tweaked the source to add 2 functions:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace ClassLibrary1
{
public class Class1
{
public string Function1()
{
return "Test Function Called";
}
public void Function2()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
}
}
}
I built it with all default settings (as a class library), then copied
the dll to the python / lib / site-packages folder, along with the
clr.pyd, Python.Runtime.dll and Python.Runtime.dll.config files
Then from python:
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 21 2008, 13:11:45) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import clr
>>> clr.AddReference('ClassLibrary1')
<System.Reflection.Assembly object at 0x01DF5580>
>>> import ClassLibrary1
>>> myObject = ClassLibrary1.Class1()
>>> myObject.Function1()
u'Test Function Called'
>>> myObject.Function2()
Hello World
>>>
Note that the "import ClassLibrary1" is the namespace not the assembly
(it just happens to be the same since its all default values).
I wonder if your issue is somehow related to VS2010? Could it be adding
some default references? What references are listed in VS?

Thanks. I tried creating a test assembly with just a default
constructor and no other dependencies, and I get the same error when I
try to import it.
I also tried setting the path variable, through windows as well as in
code, and get the same result.
Assuming my dll is named "TestLib.dll", I should be able to do
clr.AddReference("TestLib"), correct?
Do I have to strong name my assemblies, or put them in the GAC? Or is
that optional?
Any other suggestions of how to track this down?
