Simply use clr.CompileModules in an IronPython script to convert it to a dll file. Or you can use pyc.py (found inside of your IronPythonInstallDirectory\Tools\Scripts) which can also generate an exe for you also.

Yes you can! I posted a Python script which can take an IronPython file, figure out its dependencies and compile the lot into a standalone binary at Ironpython 2.6 .py -> .exe. Hope you find it useful.

If I really, really needed that I would create a wrapper DLL/EXE in another language. The Python code can then be stored as a resource in the DLL that is loaded when the assembly is first accessed.
