If I had to do something like this I would host a Python web
server listening on some port and let .NET application talk to me
using HTTP requests preferably or SOAP if I really had to.
It could be a Paster or Cherrypy or Twisted based server.
Google for instruction on how to package it using py2exe
into a windows service.
The service could be hosted on the same server as .NET or a separate
box

I do not have Enterprise Grade Seal of Approval but similar setup is
running successfully at my workplace for the last 2 years.
