Hi, when I try to use ViewType property unexpected result is appearing. Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong? I expect result according enum.
views = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
# Place your code below this line
types = []
for v in views:
types.append(str(v.ViewType))
# Assign your output to the OUT variable.
OUT = types
Hello,
here is a clue
import sys
import clr
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
views=UnwrapElement(IN[0])
col=[]
col1=[]
for v in views:
c=v.GetType()
c1=v.Name
col.append(c.Name)
col1.append(c1)
OUT = col,col1

Also, Clockwork has View.Type node that works correctly. You may can look at that to see the issue with your code.
Your code is correct.
It’s a CPython3/Pythonnet 2.5.x issue, .NET enums are automatically converted to Python int
A temporary fix with CPython3/PythonNet 2.x
import sys
import clr
import System
clr.AddReference('ProtoGeometry')
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
clr.AddReference('RevitAPI')
import Autodesk
from Autodesk.Revit.DB import *
import Autodesk.Revit.DB as DB
views = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
# Place your code below this line
dictViewType = dict(zip(System.Enum.GetValues(ViewType), System.Enum.GetNames(ViewType)))
types = []
for v in views:
types.append(dictViewType.get(v.ViewType))
# Assign your output to the OUT variable.
OUT = types
result in comparison with the as yet unofficial IronPython3 engine
Hello, I know you are a magician 
but how do you do under IronPython 3 without adding to the clr (RevitAPI)
is it already included?

to read some properties (like Enum), loading .NET assemblies is not necessarily necessary
You could also use System.Enum.GetName(ViewType, v.ViewType) after filtering for nulls
