[Python.NET] Re: Problem whith DirectX Mesh importation

[Laurent Caumont]

It seem that Mesh is in NameSpace 'CLR.Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D' but is
define in the DLL : Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX.dll

so I try that:
    a =
Assembly.LoadWithPartialName("C:\...\Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX.dll")
    from CLR.Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D import Mesh

But doesn't work.

If i well understand, 'from CLR.Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D import Mesh' try
to import 'Mesh' from CLR.Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.dll not
CLR.Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX.dll , isn't it ?

The both dll share the same NameSpace.
