Call VBS function from Python

I need the following information: I want to be able to call a vbs script from python script. I need information on how to do it inline and from external file. question # 1: Example: i=3 j=2 vbs = [login to view URL]("ScriptControl") [login to view URL] = "vbscript" scode="""Function mul2(x, y) mul2=cint(x)*y End Function """ [login to view URL](scode) [login to view URL]("mul2(5, 6)") I need to be able to to pass the values of i and j instead of (5, 6) into vbs function. Question # 2. If I choose this approach: create an external file with the same function. import os [login to view URL]("C://[login to view URL]") How can I pass those arguments (i & j) into the function?
