You just said "Windows, SQL Server, and zero support for Python", which doesn't even tell us which web server (I assume IIS?) and other tech do you have available. Do you even have PHP? I had good experience with CakePHP some years ago, but haven't followed PHP frameworks that closely since.
Anyway, as it was already suggested, python or no python, you can use the web2py standalone executable. But, if you company has a half-competent IT department, they won't allow you to run an executable like this on a corporate web server... or will they? Why don't you go the usual route, make a project proposal, get it accepted and get your superiors to make your IT staff provide the web2py environment your project requires. You'll have much less troubles in the future.
