You'll need to go into the type's dictionary and pull out the actual
descriptor object and access the __doc__ attribute from there.  For
example:

>>> import System
>>> print System.Environment.__dict__['CurrentDirectory'].__doc__

                    Gets or sets the fully qualified path of the current working
 directory.


Get: CurrentDirectory() -> str
Set: CurrentDirectory() = value
