[Python.NET] import String : Uses PythonNet with current Python installation

[f.kintzel]

Hello,

I'm not shure why, but importing CLR-modules requires that the 
top-module is imported first, then submodules of it.
Try the following :

import CLR
import CLR.System
from CLR.System import String as CLRString

foo = CLRString('bar')
print foo

--
<CLR.System.String object at 0x008FF7D0>

I guess that the first time you import String only CLR or CLR.System is 
actually imported.

Kind regards,

Florian Kintzel
