Thanks! Multi user should work out of the box, but right now it is last writer wins, which seems fine for the sheet side of things. We have a prototype of concurrent editing for the code area, but it's not launched yet. We'll prio

PySpread is really nice! However it is the Pythonic-ist approach to spreadsheet imaginable. It makes no attempt to also support the Excel way of working. Also personally I think having an actual code pane and REPL integrated right into the

It's free so far and will be free for personal use. We'll add a team based priced layer as we add more features

You can access stuff in a different way of course. Each sheet is also a python object, so you can just go Sheet1[20, 20] or Sheet1[10:20] if you like that way better

Good questions! So it runs all in a container. If you want to crash that container, you can! You can't (we really hope) escape from that container though. You have full access to the local file system and you can access network IO - wi

Having multiple code panes (files) is a recurring feature request that hopefully we'll get to at some point. Similarly we have some ideas around testing - automated testing for spreadsheets seems like it could be very useful! You can p

Currently it cannot. However we find that many millions of row use cases don't actually need those millions of rows to be in the spreadsheet - you just want to be able to process that amount of data. So connect to a SQL database from t

Yeah, we do actually have some decent AI integrations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfQVtNCdwzc - for the HN discussion we wanted to just really focus on the Python Programmable Spreadsheet

(co-founder of Neptyne) - It's definitely not the easiest market to break in, I am sure you are right there. The Python side of things does allow for easy import of data from anywhere though - you can just go: A1 = requests.get(SOME_UR
