[IronPython] new to Iron and question.

[Rodney Howeedy]

The COM file in my case was a .dll in the common files directory off  
my system root.
Please reference the IronPython tutorial on how to use the .NET SDK  
and what it does.
No, it does not decompile a dll into source code.
 From my standpoint, it mapped class definitions from my COM file  
into .NET and did not eliminate a Windows server running iPy.  It just  
let me leverage the work with DLR integration by the IronPython team  
so I could work in Python.
