I was trying out python in my browser using silverlight which is cool. Can i use python with .NET in a console or winform app? I hear silverlight is a stripped down .NET so it will load (or have a smaller download) on client machines. Can i use python with the full power of .NET? (perhaps outside of silver light)

Yep, check out IronPython: http://ironpython.codeplex.com/

It will work in any .NET app.

You might try looking at IronPython.

Additionally, there's the Python for .NET project, but I haven't read much on it.

IronPython = the official .NET implementation of Python. Python for .NET = something I've never heard of before and almost certainly inferior to IronPython.
I've not heard much on it either and IronPython would probably be a more complete solution, but in the interest of being thorough I added it on there for anyone who might find this in the future.

IronPython, maybe? It's a CLR implementation of Python. Totally .NET and totally cool.

From their site:

IronPython is an implementation of the Python programming language running under .NET and Silverlight. It supports an interactive console with fully dynamic compilation. It's well integrated with the rest of the .NET Framework and makes all .NET libraries easily available to Python programmers, while maintaining compatibility with the Python language. There also is Visual Studio tooling integration.
