How to compile WPF IronPython project to exe - wpf

Question

I've seen many questions in this forum which are questions of how to fix a problems of compiling IronPython WPF to exe.
But the problem is that I haven't seen any guide Step-by-step of how to compile my project.
I understood it includes using the clr module.
I've 6 files:
Window.py, Window.xaml.
Window1.py, Window1.xaml.
Window2.py, Window2.xaml.
That's all the files
Thanks
((irrelevant: Update- 3 hours later:
I've started using SharpDevelop and when I run it through the software itself it can be run. However , when I try to run this through the .exe file in the project's folder it doesn't work... ))
Update 2 - SharpDevelop created an exe file which works but the problem is it didn't encrypt my xaml to dll ..

Have you tried the script from this thread: Ironpython 2.6 .py -> .exe
Supposedly it includes wpf support:
