What do you mean by 'compiling'. IronPython applications don't *need*
compiling, and compiling C# from IronPython is possible - but only
useful in certain situations.
You can compile IronPython source code into exes, but there is no speed
benefit(well you save the parse / compile phase - but this is minimal) -
just the perceived advantage of a non-source distribution. There is an
IronPython sample called Pyc which demonstrates this.
You can create a C# project that embeds the IronPython engine and
creates a custom executable - is this what you want? The TabbedImages
project has an example of this:
