I would create a simple wrapper class in C# that does all the talking to 
IronPython and just exposes a single method that takes a string and 
executes it for you. That would get round all the problems you seem to 
be having with Max.

I know you don't know C#, but if you start with some of the embedding 
examples in IronPython in Action it shouldn't be too hard.

All the best,
