Pretty easily done with a quick script:

import sys
sys.LoadAssemblyByName("System")
from System import String
from System.Diagnostics import Process

def msdn(query):
            if query.GetType() == String.Empty.GetType():
                        Process.Start("http://search.microsoft.com/search/results.aspx?View=msdn&st=b&c=4&s=1&swc=4&qu=" + query)
            else:
                        msdn(query.GetType().FullName)

Will launch the MSDN help page in the user's default browser.  I'm not sure if there's a nicer way to determine if the parameter is a string or not, and this also relies on the fact that the browser will normalize the query string (if it contains a space for instance) ... but will break if you query contains the & character.  However, for debugging purposes, if you throw that in your site.py you're all set J

Following up the improving the experience for new .Net users, IronPython could provide specialized commands to search msdn and pop up a internet window. For example something like
    msdn "System.Security.Cryptography.SignedXml.ComputeSignature"   // search based on literal
    msdn foo    // search based on the object type

Sure -- you just have to go to the MSDN docs for the class you're using.  For instance, if you want to use the System.Security.Cryptography.SignedXml.ComputeSignature() method, you would go to the MSDN documentation for "SignedXml Class" (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemsecuritycryptographyxmlsignedxmlclasstopic.asp) and then at the bottom of the page, in the requirements section is:
Assembly: System.Security (in System.Security.dll)

I am in a similar boat with regard to knowing some Python but very
little .NET.  I'm very intrigued by the ability to access the .NET
framework from Python, but I know so little about .NET I'm not even sure
what question(s) to ask.
>From what I have seen in the examples and archives, it looks like there
are two basic ways to get at the .NET code: LoadAssemblyByName and
LoadAssemblyFromFile.  My problem is that I don't know how to correlate
between the assembly names or file names and the .NET APIs I read about.
Is there somewhere I can look on MSDN or in a manual or in Visual Studio
that will tell me if I want to access 'X' .NET feature then the assembly
name is 'Y' or the file name is 'Z'?  I think I must be searching for
the wrong terms or something.
Thanks,
Web Mayfield

Hi,
I am familiar with python but not with .NET. I also do not know other
programming languages like VB or C# so it is not that easy to follow
tutorials. What should be my first step to learn to use ironpython?
Thank You.
