The fact that it's embedded doesn't necessarily mean that you can't
import it from outside the running application, but it may well not be
possible.  Worth a try, though.

As I said in an email, don't forget COM -- maybe one of those .py
files you have is just a wrapper around a COM automation interface.
The "Python for Windows extensions" (aka win32all) is what you need
for most COM stuff.
