Python / IronPython Solution for Excel without Python installed

Is there a way to package an IronPython dll / xll so it can operate on a machine without explicitly installing the interpreter? By that I mean can I somehow package the interpreter inside the dll / xll?

If so what excel solution would you reccomend? I've used ExcelDNA quite a bit for C#, PyXLL also looks good but seems to rely on having Python installed.

Of course, failing this I'll probably end up using VBA - but have made concerted efforts to get away from this. C# addin is still an option, it's just much more time consuming for basic IO, seems to be best left for heavy lifting.

Thanks Richard

One option might be to use ilmerge, but I don't know if anyone has tried it with IronPython.
