Ok. 
I am not sure what you mean by similar to import clr, though.

Because in my example, clr is available from outside test; its just named 
test.clr...
Let me give you another example which is closer on how I ran into this...

Lets say you have in C#:

--- iron.Example.cs

namespace iron
{
    public class Example
    {
        public Example()
        {
        }

        public int foo()
        {
            return 1;
        }
    }

    public static class ExampleExtension
    {
        public static int bar(this Example example)
        {
            return example.foo() + 1;
        }
    
    }
}

--- EOF

Then I define an example.py to wrap this up:

--- test.py

import clr
clr.AddReference("iron")
import iron
clr.ImportExtensions(iron.ExampleExtension)

# lets use this just to test it out

e = iron.Example()
print e.foo()
print e.bar()

--- EOF

now on my command line I get

>>> import example
1
2
>>> ex = example.iron.Example()
>>> ex.foo()
1
>>> ex.bar()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'Example' object has no attribute 'bar'

And so I don't find a nice way to wrap my C# functionality in just one python 
module, 

where I whish I could offer the extension methods just like any other method... 
or is my import strategy somehow flawed ?

Greetings,
Daniel





namespace native
{
    public class Example
    {
    }

    public static class ExampleExtension
    {
         public static void 
    }

add some extension methods to it, and then want to import everything in one 
python stub module. E.g.

This is by design.  It works similar to how "import clr" only effects the 
current module
and how extension methods work in C# where they are scoped by file.  So if you
want extension methods available in a file you'll need to import them in that 
file. 

If they were globally scoped it would be easy for one module to break another by
bringing in the 'wrong' extension methods.
