  And integration with Python will be an enormous help for them.

  Next up, get rid of Access

    No one is proposing that we get rid of spreadsheets. I understand, though: you hate VBA. And by extension, Access. But Excel, with or without Python, doesn't mean it can suddenly be used as a relational database. But you knew that. So, what should replace Access?

      Actually, a number of people are proposing this for certain applications. It is also reasonably likely to happen, at very least the spreadsheet is being challenged which will put pressure on spreadsheet vendors and most definitely cut into their marketshare. Adding Python support to Excel seems to be an attempt to resist this.
