Interesting - even with the following C# called from IronPython it 
returns None. The code I am translating is from the MSDN docs. Any clues ?

namespace SimpleTest
{
    public class SimpleTest
    {
        public static Type getType(string typename){
            return Type.GetType(typename);
        }
}
