These assemblies should automatically be loaded by the CLR before the 
IronPython engine is ever started. If you're able to execute "import clr", then 
they have already been loaded successfully.

The purpose of clr.AddReference is to make assemblies available from Python, so 
it is only necessary if the Python code itself calls into these DLLs.

One finer point: System and mscorlib are special because IronPython adds 
references to them by default. At some point in the past, pyc.py failed to add 
these references by default, which broke any pyc-compiled scripts that tried to 
call into these DLLs (e.g. "import System"). As a workaround, we recommended 
including clr.AddReference('System') and clr.AddReference('mscorlib') at the 
beginning of such pyc-compiled scripts, but this is no longer required because 
the bug has been fixed.

You also have to watch that the IronPython automatically loads some assemblies 
that pyc does not.  It may be overkill but I reference the following in every 
script I make into an exe.

#Key IronPython References needed for final EXE when IronPython is not installed
clr.AddReference('IronPython')
clr.AddReference('IronPython.Modules')
clr.AddReference('Microsoft.Dynamic')
clr.AddReference('Microsoft.Scripting')
clr.AddReference('Microsoft.Scripting.Core')
clr.AddReference('Microsoft.Scripting.Debugging')
clr.AddReference('Microsoft.Scripting.ExtensionAttribute')
clr.AddReference('mscorlib')
clr.AddReference('System')
clr.AddReference('System.Data')

This is probably an assembly load failure. Try copying "c:\Program

make sure that sys.path is properly set if you're using the CPython standard 
lib for anything.

We realize this is kind of an undesirable workaround, which is why we're 
planning to put all of IronPython's required DLLs in the GAC at some point in 
the future.

Subject: [IronPython] Dirstributing scripts as Exe

Dear all,

In CPython there is py2exe to distribute scripts as exe. I notice
there is pyc.py scripts in IronPython\Tools. I tried to use pyc to
compile one simple script. It produced an exe file. But when I tried
to run the exe file, Windows complained: 'Windows stop working...'.
Did I do something wrong?
