Nah. They can spare a lot of pain and confusion by not having two different Pythons with different sets of libraries in Excel, and they have this opportunity because they don't have to support people's old Python 2 spreadsheets. There aren't old Python 2 spreadsheets.
The libraries that are stuck on Python 2 really don't seem relevant here. There aren't many of them anymore [1], and I don't think people will be trying to run graphite-web or some busted old OpenID provider in their spreadsheet.
(I originally used Fabric and Twisted as examples in the above, but hey, those are on Python 3 now. Also not things you'd be likely to use in a spreadsheet.)
