Have you tried casting to IEnumerable? That has always* worked for me.

    var _pythonRes = source.Execute(_pscope);
    if(_pythonRes is IEnumerable) { ... }

Or, in C# 4, you should be able to make _pythonRes dynamic:
    dynamic _pythonRes = source.Execute(_pscope);
    foreach(dynamic r in _pythonRes) { ... }

Whichever works better for you.
