Sure, you could create and run a python interpreter on the .NET
runtime, but how is that better than running the C implementation?
Presumably people who discuss .NET integration are looking for the
sort of language-agnostic plug-and-play that .NET promises.  This is a
different scenario than simply re-implementing python on a new
platform.
