Hi,
I have read this knowledgebase article on how to use pythonnet with ZOS-API. It suggests using Python 3.4 to 3.8. Yet, 3.4 to 3.6 have reached end of life, 3.7 will in 3 months and 3.8 next year. Also, pythonnet 2.5 is no longer maintained. The only active development is focused on version 3+.
I would like to use ZOS-API work with modern versions of Python, 3.10+. The only pythonnet version compatible with them is 3+. Under these versions, quite a few ZOS-API calls are broken. For example,
IZRDReaderResults.ReadNextSegmentFullraises an exception due to how pythonnet 3+ handles the conversion of int32 and Enum between .NET<->Python.
Is there any way to use ZOS-API with these modern and maintained versions? Note that I don’t believe that using Python 3.8 or 3.9 with pythonnet 2.5.2 is a good solution, because pythonnet 2.5.2 is not actively maintained. The pythonnet team has stated multiple times that features/bugs would only be added/fixed in 3+ (for example here).
Thank you,
Thomas
