[IronPython] Pyc IronPython Sample

[Dave Fugate]

The DLL or executable is not really usable by other .NET apps. Taken from the Codeplex Samples page (http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython&title=Samples):
While the assemblies produced by the IronPython Hosting APIs are true .NET assemblies,
the dynamic nature of the Python language makes it difficult to use these from other .NET
languages.  In short, this means that attempting to import Python types into other .NET
languages such as C# is not recommended.

Just out of curiosity. Is the dll/exe consumable by other .NET apps? I had read in the sdk that the compiled code created would not be usable by other .NET apps I thought. Does this have the same limitations?

Thanks

We're happy to announce the release of another sample, Pyc, which shows how to generate .NET executables from IronPython scripts.  This includes the pyc.py helper script which accepts a few command line parameters and generates the executables for you.

The sample can be downloaded from http://www.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython&ReleaseId=423 (IronPython-1.0-Samples-Pyc.zip) and details on what's provided can be found at http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython&title=Samples .  Please note that due to a problem in Codeplex it was not possible to update IronPython-1.0-Samples-All.zip to include Pyc.

Have fun!
