Please always reply to the list. Others may be able to

Shell to start python, and pass command line arguments.
Retrieve them in 
Python using:
import sys
sys.argv # is a list of the arguments.

Shelling to Python is one method, but it is also possible to
write a COM
server in Python and instantiate it from VB just like any
COM object. 
If you actually need to pass data back and forth, that may
be a better way.

Your suggestions are all about deployment and optimization. 
They don't
particularly address the OP's problem.
