trying to implement a C# Interface in Python for .NET
This post exemplifies my exact problem.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49736531/implement-a-c-sharp-interface-in-python-for-net#
However, I found relatively few discussion and solution. Forgive me raise the issue here. :)
I am not sure if this is an intent for pythonnet not to support. If so, reasons are welcomed.
Otherwise, I find the practice (implementing an interface) is common, and so why there is no support.
My use case is, I am given a dll. The interface is defined there. I want to develop Python class that implements the interface. Without this approach viable, I foresee my developed application would then be half in C# and half in Python, which I consider ugly.

I was recently confused by this and had to do alot of googling to find the answer on Stack Overflow.
It would be a great improvement to have

The documentation is seriously incomplete in this area. All it currently says about Python subclasses of .NET base classes is here:
Since methods are "members", this made me think that overriding methods was not possible. And the linked example did nothing to correct that misunderstanding.
Perhaps it would be better to link to these tests, which inherit from these C# base classes.
