You keep talking about "a console", but OTOH you want to use wxPython - which clearly is not console, but GUI. So I'm not really sure what you are after. It might be possible to make wx render into a given window-handle. But may I ask: what is the reason for using VB at all? Why not do the GUI-frontend in wxPython?
