Not really.  Only .NET apps can use .NET objects.  IronPython is the
.NET implementation of Python, and part of its power lies in the ability
to exploit the huge .NET CLR.  One quite reasonable answer to your
dilemma is just to focus on IronPython.

Yes, that's a very good point, and it nearly caused me to abort my
original reply.  The fact that you were able to create an object at all
suggests that there may be a COM implementation of these objects.  The
difficulty will be figuring out how they can be used.  All of the
Googling I did led only to the .NET implementations.
