In order to do reflection, you need to acquire the Type instance for imported class.

In C#, this is done by

Type t = typeof(MyClass)

In IronPython, this is done by

t = clr.GetClrType(MyClass)

Python.net seems to be missing this functionality.

I currently have this horrible hack, and I'm unsure how far it will work:

def get_clr_type(typ):
    """ simulate typeof(T) or GetClrType from IronPython.

    Horrible hack, redo
    """
    name = typ.__module__ + "." + typ.__name__
    return Type.GetType(name)

For reference, code using this resides in: https://github.com/vivainio/pynetext/blob/master/pynetext.py
