Python: SetCurrentLayer broken?!?

[jens.diemer]

Simple example code:

import MaxPlus
MaxPlus.LayerManager.CreateLayer("foobar")
MaxPlus.LayerManager.SetCurrentLayer("foobar")

A "foobar" layer will be created, but SetCurrentLayer() will result in a error:

-- Error occurred in anonymous codeblock; filename: test.ms; position: 250; line: 6
-- Runtime error:  Line 39  run()
 Line 30210  SetCurrentLayer()
  <type 'exceptions.NotImplementedError'> Wrong number or type of arguments for overloaded function 'LayerManager_SetCurrentLayer'.
  Possible C/C++ prototypes are:
    Autodesk::Max::LayerManager::SetCurrentLayer(Autodesk::Max::WStr const &)
    Autodesk::Max::LayerManager::SetCurrentLayer()

Why?

Sorry, but yes it appears this method is not implemented properly. In fact, it appears that any of those APIs athat are using a paramater of WStr as shown in the documentation are broken.

I have reported this as a defect: MAXX-22973

thanks,
