Hey Matt,

The IronPython in Action binaries include IronPython 2 (Python 2.5), 
which unfortunately isn't compatible with Silverlight 4 due to core-clr 
API changes (grrr). If you replace the IronPython binaries in the 
examples with the IronPython 2.6.1 "IronPython for Silverlight" binaries 
then all the code should "just work".

I need to update the examples and get Manning to use the later version - 
my apologies.

All the best,

Michael Foord
