MS talked about how you don't have to use ASP.NET and IIS to serve up silverlight applications, but I can't find any documentation or examples of this. Is it possible to use a Python web server?
With v1.1, we have exposed managed network objects very similar to what is in the full .NET framework. The BrowserHttpRequest and other objects can be used to request information from the server - so you could use the XML reader to examine the Python application's
response, etc.

You'll probably need to do a fair amount of parsing on the client side, but to get you started: http://silverlight.net/quickstarts/Remote/UsingREST.aspx
