I'm not sure what pieces of the puzzle you're missing. Were you able to create a simple COM server with Python? At a conceptual level, how about this: * Your VB form creates an instance of the Python COM server * You pass a reference to the form to the COM server (server.SetForm Me 'etc...) * You have a textbox in your VB form. You listen for Return key events * When you get a return key, you call a method on the COM server that says "submit text line" * The COM server examines the last line of text in the form's text box, and takes any necessary action, including: + Eval a line of interactive Python code + Write a result to the VB form's text box Do the above steps sound feasible?
