You *cannot* use '.pyc' files with IronPython.

With IronPython 1 you can compile Python files into .NET assemblies that 
you can import from as if they were Python files (Resolver Systems use 
that). You can use the 'Pyc' compiler sample to do this.

There is not yet any equivalent for IronPython 2.
