Yes, it is a two-way scripting. But then you can also access the
CPython interpreter as a dll. Another promising approach is that of a
CLR backend for PyPy but it compiles only RPython directly and one
needs a separate interpreter for anything more advanced in Python.

O.K. Let me do a constructive suggestion here. In order to demonstrate
the usefullness of the Python + .NET bridge why not writing a nice
little application? I've once written a Python console using
CPython+Scintilla+PythonNet. It is still buggy but feature complete (
at least I implemented all requirements I had to make ). One can
replace PythonNet using IronPython and embedd the console in a little
IronPython application.

If you are interested in this stuff I would start reanimating my code.
