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. - David From: users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com [mailto:users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com] On Behalf Of Bruce Bromberek Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 4:18 PM To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: Re: [IronPython] Dirstributing scripts as Exe 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') On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 5:13 PM, David DiCato <ddic...@microsoft.com<mailto:ddic...@microsoft.com>> wrote: This is probably an assembly load failure. Try copying "c:\Program Files\IronPython 2.6"\*.dll into your program directory. You will also need to 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. - David -----Original Message----- From: users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com<mailto:users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com> [mailto:users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com<mailto:users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com>] On Behalf Of Mico Siahaan Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 3:04 PM To: Users@lists.ironpython.com<mailto:Users@lists.ironpython.com> 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...'.
