You cannot create a standard .NET .dll from IronPython code (.dll that can be used directly from C# or VB).

pyc.py produces .dll that can be used only by IronPython - check such .dll with Reflector and you will understand why.

You can probably use ironpycompiler, using examples in http://pythonhosted.org//ironpycompiler/html-en/command-line.html. It requires installations of both IronPython and of CPython (the regular Python).

From the documentation: IronPyCompiler is a library for compiling IronPython scripts requiring modules from the Python standard library (or third-party pure-Python modules) into a stand-alone .NET assembly (a DLL file or an executable), using pyc.py. – Helge Mar 02 '15 at 09:54

You can use the script at C:\Program Files\[IronPython Program Directory]\Tools\Scripts.

The question is if I can compile them into portable DLLs – Shimmy Weitzhandler Jul 05 '10 at 01:06
You mean DLLs that can be used from C#? I don't think that's possible. I could be wrong. – jcao219 Jul 05 '10 at 04:59
Yes, that's what I meant. but I meant it should be attached to the project, not to be called with or other tough way. – Shimmy Weitzhandler Jul 05 '10 at 06:59
