Good idea (for all other samples too).

For what it's worth it is worth running a tool like pyflakes over clrtype.py. I'm using a version that is possibly slightly outdated in a Silverlight project and pyflakes gives several warnings on clrtype.py (including a warning about an incorrectly constructed assert): modules/clrtype.py:21: 'Char' imported but unused modules/clrtype.py:21: 'Boolean' imported but unused modules/clrtype.py:27: 'NameType' imported but unused modules/clrtype.py:28: 'ReflectedProperty' imported but unused modules/clrtype.py:182: local variable 'p' is assigned to but never used modules/clrtype.py:354: local variable 'p' is assigned to but never used (I have already fixed the assert manually I believe.)
