You can't, for the same reason you couldn't do it with Visual Basic.  
Python is interpreted, so there has to be an interpreter in there.  The 
right way to do it -- just like with Visual Basic -- is to make an 
out-of-process COM server.

Theoretically, I suppose you could write a C++ wrapper that fired up an 
interpreter and called classes in your script, but believe me when I say 
that would be more trouble that a simple COM server.
