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.
If the class is created by type then ordinary decorator syntax could be
used - attaching metadata to the methods which type could use. If a pure
Python class uses attributes then I guess a real .NET type would need to
be created, which may restrict some of the things that can be done to
the class. Definitely a price worth paying if it allows us to use
attributes.
Being able to use Python classes with frameworks that use reflection
would also be great!

Subject: Re: [IronPython] Get a string from JavaScript to IronPython
Unfortunately we can't apply attributes to Python classes. I
get round
this particular problem by creating stub classes in C# and inheriting
from them in Python. See:

Is there a CodePlex issue to resolve this?
