How to call functions inside a function in Python?

How can I call functions in Mono (.NET) libraries from Python?

I have a third-party C# .dll I would like to call from python (without running python inside Mono ala Python for .NET). The host OS is Ubuntu, and I have installed the mono-runtime. Are there more direct alternatives to an os-based call ala os.system()? Note that IronPython's "mono python.exe" will not work for me.
Answer:

You can use protocol buffers. There is a third party addon that supports C# (http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-net/).

Mono is very easy to embed. You should be able to do that with ctypes. Look at the official wiki for an example of how embedding works: http://www.mono-project.com/Embedding_Mono
