There's also CCI (just released on CodePlex last week) or Cecil which could 
also probably both be used for the task.

I'll start with ildasm. I looked at Cecil but it was a bit low level. I've also been looking into the CompileModules source code. It doesn't look impossible to get this actually working on Silverlight and serialize out rather than try to save to disk (ScriptCode and ScriptCode.SaveToAssembly are all public where a lot of the work is done).

I'll try ildasm first.

I can only assume this exception is coming from having the assembly identities 
being different - but it's strange because it does seem to be looking in the 
2.0.5.0 assembly, which is Silverlight, and the type is definitely in there.  
Hopefully re-writing the binaries will make this go away.

Reflection Emit has no cross-compilation support :(.
I need to rewrite references to the IronPython / DLR assemblies to use
the Silverlight versions and the same for mscorlib.

Any pointers as to how I should start?

Do you know what's happening when trying to import packages?

Subject: [IronPython] Compiling with Pyc for Silverlight

Hello guys,

I'd like to modify Pyc to work with Silverlight. I tried it with
simple
modules and it works straightforwardly - but I have a report that it
doesn't work with packages.

I'll try it - but if anyone has any idea of how to modify the
bytecode
generation to target the CoreCLR it would be appreciated. As far as
I
can tell from looking at the source it isn't adding any direct
references to the desktop assemblies. Any clues as to what changes I
should make? (Other than running from Silverlight and serializing
the
generated assemblies from memory to base64 which I would prefer to
avoid...).

Michael
