Collider Goal in Python: List[Object] type?

It's referring to the .NET generic list type. To instantiate one using IronPython you can do like so:


# Import the type
from System.Collections.Generic import List

# Instantiate a list
myDotNetList = List[object]()


Edit: Object might be capitalized, I forget. Also, If you're making a list which contains a specific type (like say, Kangaroo2 goals) you might want to declare this instead of object (for instance: ks.IGoal with the KangarooSolver.dll imported under the alias ks).

Wow, cool! 

And seems like object doesn't need to be capitalised.

Cheers,

Mange tak

EDIT: I get the following error. 

Runtime error (NullReferenceException): Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

But if I capitalise Object, then it simply says:

expected Array[Type], got list

Think we'll need a definition to troubleshoot further, otherwise it'd just be guesswork. Or, pop downstairs :)
