Thanks for all the feedback everyone. A couple of things: - Lee The project is only about 5 days old and is still underdeveloped. i am going to modify the post on the forum to refect that. Eventually I am going to add all of the features that you request. Thanks for all the great feedback :D
- Jean Is the liscence because of python's liscence, or because of the license that I slapped onto my program (I think you mean the python liscence, but might as well check)? I can change my license if that is what is necessary to get it into Gnumeric. I find it really strange that you cannot package it... what about packaging it with the separate "extensions module" that contains the python module? - Michal I will do that. Now that it is significantly more than just a linking script (it can completely control the workbook), I will probably name it Pygnumeric (hopefully that isn't taken) On Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 7:00 AM, <gnumeric-list-requ...@gnome.org> wrote: > Send gnumeric-list mailing list submissions to > gnumeric-list@gnome.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > gnumeric-list-requ...@gnome.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > gnumeric-list-ow...@gnome.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of gnumeric-list digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
