var engine = Python.CreateEngine();
var paths = engine.GetSearchPaths();
paths.Add(@"c:\Subbu\PythonPractise\Sample\gdata-2.0.18\src");
paths.Add(@"c:\Subbu\PythonPractise\Sample\gdata-2.0.18");
paths.Add(@"C:\Python27\Lib");
engine.SetSearchPaths(paths);
dynamic py = engine.ExecuteFile(@"D:\Subbu\PythonPractise\API\SampleAPI.py");

You should add reference to assembly that you are trying to use. From C# it would look something like this:

engine.Runtime.LoadAssembly(Assembly.LoadFile(@"Path\to\assemblyFile"));

or from python script:

import clr
clr.AddReferenceToFileAndPath("path\\to\\assemblyFile")
