Updated(new features): KOBRA - .NET for Python

New feature:
1) The "dir" method will show up methods on the .NET object in python

What this means is that you can now use the autocompletion from Pythonwin,
for example, when using kobra.

Current limitation is that only objects created with the "createObject"
method have their dictionaries updated.

A workaround is that you can call "kobralib.fillMyDict(obj)" from outside.
However, this needs to be made automatic, and I am a bit busy for a few
days, to update/debug this. Till then please use the workaround if needed.


A few comments based on some private emails I received at
cgjunkaddr at attbi.com.

Some people are seemingly under the impression that the .NET framework needs
to be purchased from Microsoft.

The Visual Studio.NET toolkit is sold my MS but the Framework is needed for
running all apps. In fact, the framework can be freely downloaded from MS
at:

Redistributable:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/sample.asp?ur
l=/msdn-files/027/001/829/msdncompositedoc.xml

If you want to develop in .NET languages C#, VB etc. you need to get the SDK
from:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/sample.asp?ur
l=/msdn-files/027/000/976/msdncompositedoc.xml&frame=true



So, basically, equipped with a Python IDE like the great PythonWin or
"idle", you can do .NET development in Python.

Check out my page at:

Check out http://www.gadgil.net/DotNetWrapperForPython.htm for updated docs.

There was a small glitch in a previous .py file. (Incidentally, the modules
are installed under lib/site-packages)
I have posted the fix and the new feature.
