You are right, I didn't need to do the cast - was just transcribing some C#
code that did that for some reason.
However, it is still a good question (instead of upcasting, think of
downcasting), and the answer
You are trying to apply C++ and C# thinking to Python. This is a
fundamental philosophical difference between the languages. Python
doesn't care what the object IS. Python only cares what it EXPOSES. If
it has a GetName() method, you can call it, no matter what the object
ancestry was. -- tim
You should be able to do it exactly like that: A.f(x)

I need to cast a .NET object A to a .NET object B. There is nothing tricky
about the cast, it's a straightforward cast to a base type. How can I do this
in IP?
Thanks!

Why do you need to cast to the base class? All of the members you need should
already be there.
