Compiling with pyc.py for Silverlight

description

The .dlls produced by pyc.py cannot be used in Silverlight .xap file.
 
There are two motivations: mainly speeding up import time but also source code obfuscation.

Import time in Silverlight is an issue.

This would be really useful for us at Comsulting.

Aparently they don't work in asp.net either

Can someone add a test case?

This is going to be a huge pain, because pyc.py uses RefEmit, and RE is limited to generating assemblies for the current runtime only. To generate assemblies for different runtimes, it'll have to use IKVM.Reflection or something similar.

On the plus side, it'll allow generating assemblies for Android and Windows RT as well.

I've thought about using IKVM.Reflection, I hadn't looked at its license to see if there are any issues with putting it into the IP repo and distributing it.
