<div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>Maperitive uses IronPython for embedded scripting. What I did for Maperitive (I'm not using MSI installations, I just have a ZIP package) is to simply include the IronPython DLLs and some of the libraries from CPython (copy pasted into the package). It works on Windows, Linux and Mac.</div>

Thank you very much for the explanation Jeff!<div><br></div><div><div>For my current prototype I have added the IronPython's MSI to the bootstrapper; and the NumPy's \DLLs and \Lib folders to my products's dir; and then I setup the host library path with both IronPython's folders and the app's \DLLs and \Lib. It seems to be working nicely.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Just as a curiosity, a small weird thing I saw with NumPy was this issue: <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5526151/ironpython-invocation-from-c-sharp-with-scipy-fails-with-importexception-no" target="_blank">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5526151/ironpython-invocation-from-c-sharp-with-scipy-fails-with-importexception-no</a> .

</div>The standard home for Python packages is PyPI (aka "the Cheeseshop") -<br>
<a href="http://pypi.python.org" target="_blank">http://pypi.python.org</a>. Python packaging in general is handled the<br>
standard distutils library, and the setuptools/distribute extensions<br>
(most of which are folded into distutils2, now known as 'packaging' in<br>
Python 3.3). Installation is done with easy_install (part of<br>
setuptools/distribute) or pip.<br>
<br>
One thing I'll give the Ruby guys - they got the gem ecosystem in<br>
place early and stuck with it.<br>
<br>
Now, IronPython doesn't support a lot of this right now. distribute<br>
and pip mostly work (there are a couple of tiny patches needed to them<br>
that I need to work on), but most of the pypi packages are bz2, which<br>
was a problem until I added bz2 a couple of days ago. Getting<br>
distribute and pip (and maybe virtualenv) working is one of my goals<br>
for 2.7.3.<br>

<br>
</div>That was a one-off created by Enthought for distributing NumPy. I<br>
don't think there's much reason to use it.<br>
<br>
Since I know you want to include the libraries, the easiest way (for<br>
now) would be to use a clean CPython installation and use easy_install<br>
to add the necessary packages (they are stored in Lib/site-packages).<br>
Then copy the site-packages directory into the IronPython stdlib so<br>
that it can all be deployed together.<br>
