使用 python.net 获取 C# 枚举描述？

Question

I'm using python.NET with a C# API. The dlls load ok, and I can find the enum I need, but can't figure out the right syntax for accessing it's values, names, and descriptions.

I'm not too familiar with C#, but think the enum is something like

public enum Things 
{
    X1,
    X2,
    X3,
    X4
}

and I'm trying to do the equivalent of eg

var values = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Things));

although I also want to access the names and descriptions. There's a 'GetNames' method, and an 'Overloads' method which I think might be what's required for those.

I'm stuck on the syntax required to use unbound methods in python.Net.

In[1]: Things.GetNames
Out[1]: <unbound method 'GetNames'>

I can get individual values

In[2]: Things.X1
Out[2]: 21

but I would really like to understand the proper way to get this information--and the descriptions, which I can't currently find--using Python.NET.

ETA1: Figured out part of what I am doing wrong. Can get values and names as follows:

from System import Enum
values = Enum.GetValues(Things)
names = Enum.GetNames(Things)

The above return System.String[] but I can iterate over them in a list comprehesion to get lists of names and values.

but still unsure how to get the descriptions. Don't see any obvious methods for this.

In [17]:dir(Enum)
Out[17]: 
['CompareTo',
 'Equals',
 'Finalize',
 'Format',
 'GetHashCode',
 'GetName',
 'GetNames',
 'GetType',
 'GetTypeCode',
 'GetUnderlyingType',
 'GetValues',
 'HasFlag',
 'IsDefined',
 'MemberwiseClone',
 'Overloads',
 'Parse',
 'ReferenceEquals',
 'ToObject',
 'ToString',
 'TryParse',

 '__overloads__',

ETA2: The approach I was using was fine, but the API turned out to be buggy.

Try the following:

from System import Enum

Enum.GetName(Things, 21) # returns "X1"
