Can you try the typedproxy class which is on this bug: 
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=470 ?

It should work to wrap the object and let you access the various attributes 
that you want to by calling through the type (in this case the interface type - 
you'd pass IEventManager for the 2nd argument to the typedproxy).

Subject: [IronPython] Problems with 'unbound-class-instance' method

Hello,

I have some problems accessing an object.

This object is instantiated by another object.

This other object holds a reference to the object.

This reference is of type MarshalByRefObject

Obviously I cannot access the object through MarshalByRefObject.

This must be done using the 'unbound-class-instance' method (please correct me 
if I am wrong)

For this method you need to instantiate the interface type object.

However the interface is abstract!

How to cope with this.


Please find sample code below;


import traceback
import clr
clr.AddReference("Bosch.Vms.SDK")

import Bosch.Vms.SDK

# RemoteServerApi constructor instantiates an object implementing a 
Bosch.Vms.SDK.IEventManager
# interface
RemoteServerApi = Bosch.Vms.SDK.RemoteServerApi("xxxx", "xxxx", "xxxx")
# RemoteServerApi holds a reference to the object implementing a 
Bosch.Vms.SDK.IEventManager
# interface. This reference is of type MarshalByRefObject.
print type(RemoteServerApi.EventManager)
# How to call a method of EventManager through MarshalByRefObject?
print Bosch.Vms.SDK.IEventManager.GetAllEventTypes

try:
  # Try the naive approach.
  RemoteServerApi.EventManager.GetAllEventTypes()
except:
  # Obviously fails because MarshalByRefObject instances do not support 
reflection.
  # AttributeError: 'MarshalByRefObject' object has no attribute 
'GetAllEventTypes'
  print traceback.format_exc()

try:
  # Try the 'unbound-class-instance' method
  Bosch.Vms.SDK.IEventManager.GetAllEventTypes(RemoteServerApi.EventManager)
except:
  # TypeError: expected IEventManager, got MarshalByRefObject
  print traceback.format_exc()

try:
  # Okay I need an IEventManager instance
  Bosch.Vms.SDK.IEventManager(RemoteServerApi.EventManager)
except:
  # TypeError: Cannot create instances of IEventManager because it is abstract
  print traceback.format_exc()
