I guess the "Mono hack" you're talking about either doesn't initialise 
the TEB, or you have integrated it wrong.

I think you'd be better off building a winelib version of the Win32 
Python port, ie so the entirely of the interpreter runs as a winelib 
app. I don't think doing this is *too* hard ....
