I'm surprised that no one mentioned this tool called vb2py. It looks outdated, but I actually used it successfully to convert vba code to python, once all dependencies were installed correctly :) http://vb2py.sourceforge.net/ You can also understand how vb objects map to python objects. vb2py has also minimal support for GUI conversion. Someone has even forked it on github recently: https://github.com/reingart/vb2py -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
