I think you mean

add_test(TestName ${PYTHON_EXECUTABLE} "/full/path/to/script.py")

Another solution I'm currently using on Linux
(don't know how it work on Windows) is to add
this as the very first line of your script:

#!/usr/bin/env python

+ making the script executable.

Then
add_test(TestName "/full/path/to/script.py")
should work as well without trouble.

David's solution should work on Windows too as soon as you
find_package(PythonInterp)
