Using .NET Core Library in Linux Python

Question

I wrote a C# library in linux with .NET Core. Now I want to use it in python. Has someone experience with this topic? Is this even possible?

I tried to use

import ctypes as ct
lib = ct.WinDLL("PythonTest.dll")

but I run in this error

 Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
 AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'WinDLL'

i was able to import WinDLL, are you sure that you are giving the full path to the pythontest.dll? — rawwar

Please see the documentation

On Linux, it is required to specify the filename including the extension to load a library, so attribute access can not be used to load libraries. Either the LoadLibrary() method of the dll loaders should be used, or you should load the library by creating an instance of CDLL by calling the constructor:

WinDLL() is for Windows on Linux you need to use .LoadLibrary() or CDLL()

Thanks for your question. But now I run into the error "invalid ELF header".

@Christian Ah I was hoping you had found a way around that. Have you seen: stackoverflow.com/questions/20762142/…
