Thanks, that did the trick for searching the archives.  (I forgot that you 
could do that with Google.)

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like anyone else in the archives has asked this 
question before.

Hi Brad,

No idea regarding your coding problem :-/

But your searching problem is easy...
Google allows you to specify a 'site' to restrict searches to. The following 
will search the archives for "__doc__"
        site:mail.python.org/pipermail/pythondotnet __doc__
(generating this URL)
http://www.google.com.sg/search?q=site%3Amail.python.org%2Fpipermail%2Fpythondotnet%2F+__doc

I guess other search engines may have something similar.

Hope that helps
  Mark

Subject: [Python.NET] Better doc strings.

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...
