You almost certainly would regard a copy of Hammind and Robinson's 
"Python Programming on Win32" as remarkable value for money. It's an 
axcellent book, and even has examples fo how you can make a VBA 
application scriptable in Python.

If you are more interested in developing functionality that 
experimenting, buying that book would save to a huge amount of time.
