> This might be a fairly trivial question but its one I haven't been able to answer from other postings. I suspect that the answer is no but: Can I call c# classes from an embedded python module and also vice-versa?

Python can call .NET, .NET can't call Python.

My understanding is it won't go anywhere. Python is too different from the CIL for it to be practical. Instead Microsoft will have to come up with a more advanced CIL, more capable of supporting dynamic languages.
