[IronPython] (UPDATE) Cannot create instances of RuntimeType because it has no public constructors

[Curt Hagenlocher]

"fooclass" is not a Python type. It's an instance of the CLR class
System.RuntimeType. In order to derive from "foo" in this fashion, you might
be able to turn fooclass into a IronPython.Runtime.Types.PythonType by
saying

import clr
foo = clr.GetPythonType(fooclass)
class bar(foo):
    pass

If it's consistent with your security requirements, it would be simpler to
simply expose your C# assembly directly to IronPython. You would do this
from within the C# code by saying

scriptRuntime.LoadAssembly(typeof(foo).Assembly);

and then you could say from your Python code

from Namespace.Containing.Your.Foo.Class import foo
