Worked: 2.79.0

Short description of error
Choosing Online Manual / Online Python reference via context menue on any propertyrelated to CyclesRenderSettings throws an error
bpy.types.CyclesRenderSettings doesnt seem to be accessible via

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
In the default scene, Properties Editor, Render tab:

switch to cycles
on any property (e.g. sampling panel > render samples), choose context menu (RMB) > Online Manual / Online Python reference
error

Seems like CyclesRenderSettings are not accessible via bpy.types even though it is documented as such https://docs.blender.org/api/2.80/bpy.types.CyclesRenderSettings.html
but instead only via context.scene.cycles or from cycles package cycles.properties.CyclesRenderSettings

There is no reasons to put that to high priority, this is a current limitation of the system, Cycles data is generated through python API, i.e. those are not 'real' RNA structures. Addressing this issue will require design and development work.
