[IronPython] Accessing CPython from compiled assemblies

[Harry Pierson]

FYI, I covered how to compile CPython python packages into a DLL for inclusion in my Pygments for WLWriter project. Relevant post is at http://devhawk.net/2009/08/10/Compiling+Python+Packages+Into+Assemblies.aspx

Are you compiling to exe with the Pyc compiler? If so you will also need to compile the standard library modules that you use (*instead* of adding them to the path).

Another technique is to have your own version of the standard library (or just the parts you use) in a directory in the same folder as your exe - and add *this* directory to the path instead.
