Yes it should work, but I don't have the correct assembly to be able to test it.
You should remember that you should just translate the code from VB to IronPython. IronPython is a dynamically bound language, so you don't have to do things like declaring the local variable oWord (i.e. 'oWord = wordApp.ApplicationClass')
In python an variable object is bound to a type upon assignment to an Rvalue object
If you tell me how to get the assembly having "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word" I will try it out for you and post back the code snippet.

Hello,
First congratulation of all, thank you for the tremendous work that you
have already done.
I am looking forward the day where I will be able to translate all my MS
office automation in python scripts.
Am I correct I say that iron python will allow it?
So today I try to give it a try but unfortunatly withou success till now.
I am trying to translate this simple vb.net module to iron python, is
there someone reading this list that can help me?
the VB
Imports word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.word
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim oWord As Word.ApplicationClass
'Start Word and open the document.
oWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oWord.Visible = True
oWord.Documents.Open("C:\tmp\Doc1.doc")
'Run the macros.
'oWord.Run("DoKbTest")
'oWord.Run("DoKbTestWithParameter", "Hello from VB .NET Client")
'Quit Word.
oWord.Quit()
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oWord)
oWord = Nothing
End Sub
End Module
Iron Python
import sys
sys.LoadAssemblyByName("Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word")
import Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word as wordApp
oWord = wordApp.ApplicationClass
oWord = CreateObject("wordApp.Application")
oWord.Visible = True
oWord.Documents.Open("C:\tmp\Doc1.doc")
oWord.Quit()
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject (oWord)
oWord = Nothing
thank you
