In the book "Python Programming on Win32", one of the examples in the first 
few chapters is a finance package.  From memory (I haven't read this part 
of the book for a while), it doesn't go into massive depth, but it covers 
the initial app design and lots of specific bits in reasonable depth.  

I'm pretty sure the focus of this section is using Python to write the 
functional parts of the app, then exposing these bits as COM objects for 
use by a VB-coded GUI.  Again, my memory might be playing tricks.

Check out the book in your local bookshop to see if it covers what you want.

Good luck
