Thanks for the piece of advice :)
Now, the problem seems to come from gateways... 

from VB: On command 
o = CreateObject("PythonDemos.Server")
----error------>
Object with win32trace dispatcher created (object=None)
pythoncom error: CPyFactory::CreateInstance failed to get gateway to returned object
exceptions.ValueError: argument is not a COM object

Whereas, from pythonWin: 
>>> o = win32com.client.Dispatch("PythonDemos.Server")
----success------>
Object with win32trace dispatcher created (object=None)
>>> o.SplitString("hi there")
in _Invoke_ with 1000 0 1 (u'hi there',)
(u'hi', u'there')
>>> 

does the following trace makes sense to you?
