Be warned that you'll be paying for 'costs of re-tooling' from 
your own 'pocket' so to speak. Contrary to the legend, 'taming 
The Snake' is not a trivial mater especially if you are coming 
from cozy/yucky (depending who you ask) VB environment.

Python indeed is a lot better language than VB, but if your 
ambitions lie/revolve around MS centric products, the whole 
exercise might not bring returns you are hoping for. Especially 
if all you need/want to build is qyick'n dirty (drag & drop) GUI db 
interfaces with modest amounts of 'business logic'/functionality, 
all targeting other MS products. Productivity-wise, in this special
case, VB environment is hard to beat (provided you are not disgusted 
by horrors of VB language so much you can't take it any more).
