MSFT guy here who relates. As a small adjunct project to http://pytools.codeplex.com http://pytools.codeplex.com, we developed some bindings so you can sidestep VBA and use Python with Excel. It works well for what it does. Here's a short video overview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi3QKuFugWk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi3QKuFugWk . It's OSS/Apache. You don't need VS to use it.
- bru 14y agoHello smortaz, Your post reminded me DataNitro[1] (previously IronSpread), a python-in-excel solution that was featured on HN nearly a year ago[2], and a YCombinator-backed company. As far as I'm aware it seems closed-source and costly, while your solution is open-source and free. But how does it compare functionality-wise? At my company we're using using Excel pretty often and python is growing, so using such a tool could be a really convenient. 1: https://datanitro.com/ https://datanitro.com/ 2: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4090337 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4090337
