[IronPython] Inspect Module

[Michael Foord]

Davy,

What you might find helpful is to use a similar technique for 
compilation that we do for Resolver One.

All our libraries are compiled with Pyc but not our main executable.

The main executable is in C# and it is a thin wrapper over the 
IronPython hosting API. It basically has a small snippet of Python code 
embedded in it that starts the application.

This allows you to set engine options (you'll need to setup sys.argv 
yourself and possibly set the search path - which sets up sys.path) and 
also have an icon etc.

We then have an automated build which compiled the main executable and 
also compiles the Python packages with Pyc (we have a version of Pyc 
which we can use as a library rather than calling it as a script).

As well as being flexible this overcomes some of the reported 
limitations / defects in Pyc.

All the best,

Michael
