[IronPython] Importing .py files embedded as resources (from Silverlight)

I just had a chat with Ivan and he suggested the same idea. For some reason
I thought that it would be hard to mix .py and .rb directly, but the
dlrconsole sample does that, it seems.

So I'm going to follow that advice and put the .py files into the XAP, and
let the engine do the job.

I still have one question then: if the main app file is a Ruby one, how can
I call the Python function from there ?
