Strangely I don't see one - this is frequently asked for so I'm a little 
surprised :)

I have a plan on how to enable this (and some other .NET scenarios) in the next 
major release.  My current thinking is to support this via meta-classes and 
providing a new method on type which lets you specify the underlying .NET type 
used for the Python type.  That will enable this feature to be implemented in 
Python along with other .NET interop features like:
        having a Python type which has a default constructor which is available 
to .NET (important for frameworks which use reflection to create instances).
        Having concrete .NET members which expose Python members (important for 
frameworks which use reflection for member access - e.g. data binding).

People can then debate and throw around code for what the best syntax for .NET 
custom attributes is from Python and implement it themselves.  If anyone has 
feedback on this I'd love to hear it.

Is there a CodePlex issue to resolve this?
