How can IronPython access a public static property defined in C#?

Question

Consider this C# code:

public static class Graphics {
  public static Color white = new Color(255, 255, 255);
}

I can compile and import this from IronPython:

>>> import clr
>>> clr.AddReference("Graphics")
>>> import Graphics
>>> Graphics.white
<Color 255,255,255>

But I can't:

>>> import clr
>>> clr.AddReference("Graphics")
>>> from Graphics import *
>>> white
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/dblank/Calico/src/engine.py", line 159, in execute
    source.Execute(self.manager.scope)
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
<type 'exceptions.NameError'>: name 'white' is not defined

Is there something I can do to make white accessible?

If you mark the field as readonly then we'll allow importing it via import * because it'll get added to Graphics.all.

Yes, that did it. Is there a way to make public static properties visible? public static int MyValue { get {} set {} }; doesn't seem to appear.

Oh, and what is .all? Can we add things to that in C#?
