mmm... I just tried on a w2k3 box, and what I got was:

  - startup from cygwin shell works ok

  - startup from cmd shell works ok

  - double-click on python.exe - crashes :(

It doesn't do this on XP. I'll have to dig into this one.

It doesn't allow you define types that are directly visible at compile-time
to C#, etc., so you probably would have to implement some sort of "pass-
through" to delegate to your Python code. It should be possible to come
up with a generic dispatcher though, so you wouldn't necessarily have
to write a lot of wrappers.
