windows script host and python

[Mike Carifio]

I'm looking for some resources on using python with wsh generally.

Specifically, I'm trying to use .wsf files with python. For example,
given a "one liner" in (say) hello.py:

    WScript.Echo("hello")

then wscript //E:python hello.py works. But hello.wsf below doesn't:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<?job error="true" debug="true" ?>

<package id="package1">
   <job id="job1"> <!-- run by default -->
     <comment>
       blah blah
     </comment>
     <script language="python">
     <![CDATA[
         WScript.Echo("hello")
     ]]>
     </script>
   </job>
</package>

Is this known to work by a different path? Known not to work at all? Pl.
advise. Tx.
