As far as I can tell (!) your blog only shows how to create a Dynamic
Language Silverlight 2 application using 'app.xap' created with Chiron. I
want to be able to create an application *without* Chiron which is deployed
as text on the server (one of the great advantages of using Dynamic
Languages with Silverlight as explained by Jim Hugunin at Mix07...).

This means using a 'Silverlight.createObjectEx' call from Javascript in the
webpage - where I can pass in the name of the xaml file to load. What I
don't know is how in Silverlight 2 do I specify a Python file - either in
the 'createObjectEx' call or in the xaml file it loads...

I don't want to be dependent on Chiron for creating/deploying dynamic
language applications, and I certainly don't want to have to hand roll XML
manifest files. Hopefully this isn't necessary I just can't quite work it
out yet.
