Cool - and I agree. Once you whet their appetite and get people started 
Python speaks for itself. IronPython was designed from the very start to 
be easy to embed, so it really is almost trivially simple to use it to 
add user scripting to applications (or for rapid prototyping of ideas). 
There are a host of examples online (including on my website).

If you have Silverlight installed http://www.trypython.org/ is a useful 
resource.

All the best,

Michael
