how to import an API library into a rhino.python component

Hi,

I would like to use a specific API library within a rhino.python component.

It works with a vb.net component by using the Manage Assembly option, and choosing my .dll file (Interop.RobotOM.dll). But I don't know how to do it with a rhino.python component. The question is : where do I have to copy my dll file ? I tried to copy it into  \Plug-ins\IronPython\Lib, but there are only .py files.

Same problem with AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\Plug-ins\IronPython\settings\lib

Do I have to convert my .dll into a .py file ? And how ?

The dll is the API for Robot Structural Analysis (Autodesk), a FEM software to calculate structures. See attached file if you are insterested (you will need the software anyway if you want to use it).
