I'm writing a Visual Studio extension, which will include scripting capabilities (using IronPython). It works, but it is necessary to provide some standard library modules for IronPython. These are available in the IronPython installation in the Lib folder, but I cannot assume, that users of my extension will have IronPython installed.
I would like to include all standard library scripts in the VSIX container and - during extension installation - extract them to the folder, where my extension files resides. Then I'll simply add appropriate path to the Python engine and it will be able to take advantage of additional modules.
Unfortunately, I yet found no way of including additional files in the VSIX container. Is there a way to do so? If not, how can I resolve this problem?
