this is great news.  this is very helpful... thanks.  i assume there
is another Execute method that you can pass in a path to file or take
a file object so we don't have to write the code in a C# string.  what
i would like to do is create the skeleton of C# web services, then
have it call out to python code.  what you just showed here is that
this is definitely possible.  also, i see that your Test was a class
and not a pure interface.  i hope this will work with pure interfaces
too.
