1) That's a very interesting proposition... Currently, the python wrapper seems to overwrite any public attributes named __doc__. I'd suggest a change that only writes that attr on the wrapped object if it doesn't already exist in order for C# classes to get __doc__ strings in the sort term. [PythonDocAttribute] seems like the best answer for the long term. 2) The PythonDotNet Archives (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythondotnet/) gives an OK overview when you click on the [Subject] for each month.

I'm trying to provide better documentation for some C# classes that are called from Python. Ideally, I'd like to markup my class in C#, either with the standard XML comments or with something like a [PythonDocAttribute], and have this documentation show up as the __doc__ string for the method or class in Python. That way, the clients of my wrapped objects will see nice tool-tips on my classes as they code away in their IDE.
So, is this easily done? Has anyone else crossed this bridge before? Does something already exist that would work before I start hacking on the Python.NET source?
(Also, are the archives of the list searchable somewhere? I just saw clickable-by-month archives, not searchable.)
Thanks,
Brad...
