This should help for Python accessing VBScript,

 >>> import win32com.client
 >>> vbhost = win32com.client.Dispatch("ScriptControl")
 >>> vbhost.language = "vbscript"
 >>> vbhost.addcode("Function two(x)\ntwo=2*x\nEnd Function\n")
 >>> vbhost.eval("two(2)")
4

Alternatively you could try to convert your VBScript to Python.
