Assuming you have a copy of Access, no?
I would recommend lighting off Access, and exploring the Modules
collection.  Possibly start a new file, and see if you can prototype
your python code in Visceral Baysuck for crApplications, (which is
actually a better tool than my sophomoric comment implies).
The modules collection may let you invoke a Sub in one of them.
Google might also yield something.
HTH,
