Hmmm... although from inside Python code run in the engine you can still 
tell that it is a ScriptScope and not a 'real' module. I'm pretty sure 
that internally IronPython *is* using PythonModule.

Not that it is a problem, publishing ScriptScopes works fine - it would 
be *nice* to have access to the same API that IP uses for publishing 
modules, but not essential.
