When I ssh into a windows machine (running Cygwin sshd), I can invoke python at the shell prompt (you have to use -i option and I don't really understand why).
Once it's started there are couple rather odd behaviors: 1) readline support doesn't work. 2) you have call sys.exit() to exit (neither ctrl-D or ctrl-Z work) Number 2) I don't really care about, but 1) is pretty annoying. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
