Add reference to python dll in visual studio 2008
===

I've installed Python 2.7 on windows xp.
Im trying to get a reference to it from visual studio 2008 (vb.net). However, when I add reference, its not in the list of framework references or COM references.

When I browse to it (in c:\windows\sys32), I get an exception ...

A reference to C:\windows\system32\python27.dll" could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks.
