[PythonCE] Python within another application

[James Salter]

Thanks for the prompt advice Fuzzy.

Getting into the guts of python may be acceptable, depending on whether its
going to be worth it.

Anyone willing to indulge me even further by mounting a case for python in
favour of a VBScript / Jscript host (apart from the fact that VBScript is
vile)?
