As they're just IDL functions and objects, I'd assume they would work - but I wondered if there would be issues if I tried to use the GUI manipulation functions (eg. to view images).

Hi Robin,
In general, you can use any IDL or ENVI routines from within Python. However, sometimes it seems like IDL/ENVI widget applications don't play nicely with Python and Python will crash. I haven't done too much digging to find out exactly why, but if you encounter any issues, definitely post them on the newsgroup.
Cheers,
Chris
