I am mostly getting positive feedback for Python.

It seems Python is used more for web based applications. Is it equally fine for 
creating stand-alone *.exe's? Can the same code be compiled to run on Linux or 
Android or web-based?

Is it possible to create GUI elements with a good IDE? Can they be defined like 
in Visual Basic with given sizes, fonts, visible/invisible, etc.?

Is it easy to do matrix operations in Python? Or do I need to write subroutines 
like in Visual Basic?

Could someone kindly tell me advantages and disadvantages of Python? Or any 
better options? I have like 40-50 VB Forms and may be around 20000 lines of 
code. It will be a task to learn a new language and translate/re-write that 
code.

Thanks for your responses.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned this tool called vb2py.

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:

Thanks! I have a lot of VB6 and VB.NET code and I'm learning Python thinking about doing machine learning, this might come in handy for other programs!
