Getting the
__doc__docstrings in the IronPython2 can be very slow (15-100ms) for each call. Every time you press.on a large namespace or type, Dynamo (and possibly its host) freezes. Whenever you use theAutodesk.Revit.DB.namespace for example, Revit freezes for multiple seconds, making editing iron python 2 scripts a horrible experience.Luckily the experience is much better in IronPython3 and getting the docstrings is much faster.
Unfortunately, it CPython getting the docstrings has not been implemented yet.
This PR also implements lazy loading of the in the overarching class and delays the execution until the description is actually displayed and needed.
