It depends on what you need to do.  The .NET class library is, of
course, far more extensive than the Python standard library even with
the Win32 extensions, but for most tasks, you don't NEED the vastness of
the CLR.

It might be interesting for you to investigate IronPython.  This is an
implementation of Python as a full .NET language, with access to the
entire Common Language Runtime.
