I have a NET library I'm using from Python with PythonNET and can't figure out how to put an enum into a List. It seems Python converts the enum to an integer that won't fit the List datatype. Here's an example:

import clr
from System.Collections.Generic import List
from System import Array, Enum
import MyLibrary

enum = List[MyLibrary.ResultType] #no errors here
enum.Add(MyLibrary.ResultType.PV) 
#TypeError: No method matches given arguments

#and just typing MyLibrary.ResultType.PV I get this result
Out[7]: 0

So I tried also creating an array - it will also create an empty one with the enum datatype, but won't allow me to assign a value to it:

Array[MyLibrary.ResultType](MyLibrary.ResultType.PV) 
#TypeError: Cannot convert 0 to MyLibrary.ResultType[]

Anyone have a solution to this issue? Appreciate it.

  • Please don't add [solved] devices to titles, Matt - we don't use them here. Use the acceptance system instead - thanks! – halfer May 20 '17 at 20:16

    Sorry about that, I had posted on the PythonNET mailing list and wanted the group to see in the email that it was already solved. Removed. – Matt May 21 '17 at 15:54

Oh my god I can't believe the mistake I made, but here it is. I wasn't creating the List with an initialization 

enum = List[MyLibrary.ResultType]() #the missing () was the reason this didn't work!
enum.Add(MyLibrary.ResultType.PV)

Now it works just fine.
