[IronPython] how to use an enum from a hosted script

[Dino Viehland]

Generally what you'd do is:

import clr
clr.AddReference('yourdll')
from MyNamespace import NotificationTypeEnum

I have no idea where the 'Imports are disabled' exception would come from though.  If you could include the actual text of the exception that might be helpful.  Also running w/ the -X:ExceptionDetail command line and sending back that stack trace might be useful as well.
