>>> Hi Michael, this seems like as good of a time as any to shed some light on our thoughts around the IronPython samples.  First Pyc - Pyc.py was indeed updated for IronPython 2.x in our internal TFS repository last month, but as most people are already aware we don't reship the samples with every minor release of IronPython.  The main reason we do this (at least from my perspective) is testing.  Most of the samples are GUI-based and need to be tested by hand which is quite time consuming.

Regardless, we believe this sample depicts a vital aspect of IronPython functionality and will do a one-time 2.0B4 release of Pyc on www.codeplex.com/IronPython sometime today to get feedback.

That is, we'll release the samples shortly after 2.0 ships.  The fundamental reason for doing this is that delaying samples work lets us put more effort into improving the quality of ipy.exe and the core IronPython documentation.
