Theoretically you can just do this:
_>>> import sys;
sys.path.append("/path/to/nuke8.0v1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/")
_>>> import nuke
..but there are plenty of situations where the "import nuke" thing will
not work, mainly if the parent process (e.g Maya) is built with
different compiler version, different Python version/UCS version, or
uses similar but conflicting libraries (like, different version of Qt or
whatever)
These problems will likely result in undefined-symbol errors, crashes or
bizarre bugs
Nuke and Maya are both large/complicated/potentially-messy lumps of
code, and so the two are unlikely to live nicely in the same process
without "problems".. Whereas in a simple, relatively small application
like Python, it's far more likely to work
..thus the release notes say "The Foundry cannot provide customer
support for third-party Python interpreters"
The NukeExternalControl project is probably a better bet - the "Command
Manager Interface" is basically the same as 'import nuke', but runs Nuke
as a separate process (skipping all the messy C symbol problems),
