Well I've actually used the Python.Interpreter com object in the past
and it would almost cover what I need (the Exec method doesn't actually
return anything). It's slightly harder to convince someone to add on an
unknown language & a large extension, but recently we've been able to
freeze win32com python apps so that's not really a problem any longer. 

It's also quite easy  to modify and extend such an interface. I suppose
there's no equivalent to the COM functionality on Macs (OS v 9 is
preferred).
