The types module is part of the Python standard library - you only need 
to deploy it if you use it.

You can compile your Python file and libraries into an executable / 
assemblies using the Pyc compiler sample - which is available for 
download on the the IronPython codeplex site. There are some caveats 
about its use; you will need to add references to any assemblies you 
import from and some users have reported losing sys.argv when they 
compile their main executable. In this case it is better to *not* 
compile your main script, or to create a custom executable in C# which 
creates the Python engine and executes your main script but doing things

like setting up sys.argv and setting the engine search paths.

All the best,
