[IronPython] .NET can see Python classes?

Here is a full example:

using System;
using IronPython.Hosting;
using IronPython.Runtime.Types;
using IronPython.Runtime.Operations;

namespace TestPythonConsole
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            string code = "import 
clr\r\nclr.AddReference('TestPythonConsole')\r\nfrom TestPythonConsole 
import Test\r\nclass X(Test):\r\n     def test(self):\r\n        return 
'hello'\r\n\r\n";
            PythonEngine engine = new PythonEngine();
            EngineModule module = engine.CreateModule();
            engine.DefaultModule = module;
            engine.Execute(code);
            UserType ptype = module.Globals["X"] as UserType;
            Test obj = Ops.Call(ptype) as Test;
            Console.WriteLine(obj.test());
        }
    }

    public class Test
    {
        virtual public string test()
        {
            return "goodbye";
        }
    }

}

The Python code imports 'Test' (it has to add the right reference to the 
assembly first). It then subclasses 'Test' in a class called X.

The class we pull out of the Python engine globals is called and the 
result cast to Test.

Calling the method 'test' calls the subclass rather than the parent class.

I hope that helps.
