That could mean a couple of things.  If you just want to invoke a Python
script as a separate process, then it's exactly like calling any other
standalone application.  There are many, many examples of doing that it VB6.

However, if you want to call a Python function from inside VB6 as if it
were a DLL or an object, that's a little more complicated.  The best way
to do that is probably to turn your Python script into a COM object, and
call the COM from VB6.
