You are not talking about garbage. The power of python, and the whole QuantLib
with it, can be completely transferred to the COM environment. The task was
not trivial and required a lot of development time. That's why it is not
available
for free. The end product, I have to say, is terrific, you can use the
whole QuantLib from VisualBasic(or other languages that support COM) with
the same ease of python.

This porting is called QuantKit and is marketed by RiskMap. It is not just
the porting of QuantLib but has additional parts that are built around
QuantLib. It includes,
among other things, a more sophisticated Monte Carlo engine, bond classes,
and more.

If you are interested in QuantKit, please contact privately
