I need to know how to execute Python scripts from inside VisualBasic. I need to execute a Python script when a .NET button is pressed or when a .NET form is loaded from a .vb forms application.

I also need values passing back and forth between VB forms window and the Python Script that is running.

I have accomplished something similar with "wrappering" python-to-C then calling C functions from C++ (and visa versa) as a means of scripting and quickly generating new testing code for a really old system. I'm having difficulty accomplishing what sounded like a straight forward process: executing a Python script from inside VB.net
