Thanks very much Mark, pippo_server.py was exactly what I needed. I was missing defining the _typelib_guid_, _typelib_version_, _com_interfaces_ and then registering the type library with pythoncom.LoadTypeLib and pythoncom.RegisterTypeLib.
VB doesn't complain now, all seems working fine, and with Ole2View I can view TypeInfo! Now I'll make a py2idl generator to automatically convert my classes.
