Let's just say that I'm a bit less sanguine about this, particularly
after reading the white paper on the ActiveState site that came out of
the initial (MS-sponsored I believe) experimentation with the
integration of Python with the .NET framework.
While I certainly won't question that it will be possible to tie the
two together, it's unclear to me that doing so will be a big draw to
Python given some of the potential uncertainties and possible
restrictions (not the least of which may be performance).
But time will tell...
