Hello Vladimir,

Python as a language uses modules and packages to do namespacing rather 
than .NET namespaces. This means that introspecting assemblies compiled 
from Python code to examine their *structure* is not really useful.

If you want to *use* those classes from .NET (say from C#) you will need 
to do it through the IronPython hosting API rather than directly 
referencing the compiled assemblies anyway.

What are you actually trying to achieve?

Michael
