[Python.NET] Embedded scripting

[Brian Lloyd]

Hi Sam - I think the problem is the import line in your 
Python script:

from PyTest.PyTest import PyTestClass

should be:

import CLR # for safety due to a deep import issue
from CLR.PyTest.PyTest import PyTestClass


IOW, all imports from managed code come from the magic 
top-level 'CLR' module.
