VBA as in what was implemented as part of Office 2000, 2003 and VB6 have been deprecated in favor of .Net technologies. Unless you are maintaining old code stick to python or maybe even go with IronPython for .Net. If you go IronPython, you may have to write some C#/VB.Net helper classes here and there when working with various COM objects such as ones in Office but otherwise it is supposed to be pretty functional and nice. Just about all of the Python goodness is over in IronPython. If you are just doing some COM scripting take a look at what ActiveState puts out. I've used it in the past to do some COM work. Specifically using Python as an Active Scripting language (classic ASP).
