[IronPython] [Spec and Code Review] Python and Ruby in HTML script-tags

[Michael Foord]

This is great Jimmy. One thing I ask you to check - can you test the 
behaviour of Python engines when embedded in Silverlight (*both* from C# 
and from Python itself). Specifically can you check that imports still 
work. I've had several problems with this in Silverlight with IronPython 
2.0 - even exec'ing code that does an import (on a background) thread 
fails, and imports from the xap fail in various embedded scenarios which 
have caused me a bit of pain.

Thanks
Michael
