Yes, it's possible to write a Python script in an outline, then call com.callScript. (For examples of doing this with VBScript, jump to the winShell verbs.)

Last time I tried this with Python was about 6 months ago, and there was a problem. I don't remember what, exactly. Since com.callScript worked well with VBScript, JScript, and PerlScript, I assumed a bug in Python's Active Scripting support. I may or may not have been right -- and if I was right, it's worth seeing if the bug has been fixed.

Nevertheless, even if that works that's not as cool as being able to choose a script language for any script, and give Python full access to the odb, etc.
