IronPython: adding references from host application

Question

In my application I'm using Iron Python to provide scripting capabilities. The problem is that embedded scripts don't see references I've linked to the app. Only solution as I understand is to manually import them from script

import clr
clr.AddReference(...)
from ... import ...

but I'm reading scripts from files and I don't want to prepend a bunch of imports like this. So how do I add references from host application? ScriptEngine / ScriptScope doesn't look to have any related methods :(

The method you want is ScriptRuntime.LoadAssembly, easily accessed from your ScriptEngine instance:

engine.Runtime.LoadAssembly(typeof(System.Web.HttpContext).Assembly);
