VB6 To Python

[Sampson, David]

Thanks for the feedback to this thread.

I tried the conversion but unfortunately it did not translate from VB to
Python. It wrapped the VB using a lib of python calls.  So the language
is not pure python. From what I see.

So a full rewrite it is.

This is good advice.

Since your original project had such a clean separation between GUI code
and the rest of the logic, however, you might want to investigate the
methods discussed in Robinson and Hammond's "Programming Win32 in
Python", where they explain how Python logic can make use of COM
interfaces to interact with VB (or other COM) GUIs.
