[IronPython] Loading Python modules from Silverlight Isolated Storage

[Kenneth Miller]

It was proven to me that while exec might work for simple cases, more  
advanced usage (declaring a lambda function inside an exec) can be  
problematic. It was advised that I generate python modules and  
dynamically import them. If memory served me, it's not possible to  
import a module from a string object.

Thanks.
