It's unlikely that it will work. pyc.py doesn't generate assemblies
that can be used directly by other .NET programs (i.e., they're not
CLS-compliant).

You should be able to write a very thin shim in C# that hosts
IronPython and stores the python files as resources, and then register
the shim with regasm.exe.
