```
enum FooEnum {
One = 1,
Three = 3,
Four = 4,
}
FooEnum x = (FooEnum)2;
```
This patch allows this from Python code as well.

@slide in .NET you can't just assign a numeric value to an enum. You have to make an explicit cast for a good reason. The most pythonic way I see this could work is |

That's true, it does require the typecast. This only allows assignment/coercion when the underlying type is assignable, is that still too lenient? |

@slide oh, I checked the code of I actually think Python.NET should have required an explicit cast from the beginning, and should not have converted enum values to Python Summoning @filmor into conversation. |

Ok, thanks, I'll see if I can work on something like that. |
