So C++ did away with such conversions, requiring you to do most pointer casts manually. But that would create source-incompatibility with C; a valid C program that used NULL the way … Read more

This is because Python classes are dynamic and support addition and removal of methods at runtime, things you cannot do with .NET classes.
