==== Description: ====
Pyspread is a cross-platform Python spreadsheet application. It is based on
and written in the programming language Python.
License
-------
Pyspread is GPLed (v3).
The package includes icons from the Tango icon set (at
http://tango.freedesktop.org/), which is public domain.
There are derived icons:
1) pyspread/icons/actions/frozen_small.png
2) pyspread/icons/actions/edit-copy-results.png
3) pyspread/icons/pyspread.png
I am not sure if they are really GPL or public domain because the are only
small changes. Please advise.
There are two directories (pyspread/odf and pyspread/ooopy) that contain
foreign code from the projects odfpy and OOoPy. To my knowledge, both of
these are GPLed (however maybe GPLv2).
Web-site
--------
http://pyspread.sf.net
Source code (svn)
-----------------
svn co https://pyspread.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pyspread pyspread
Reason for Gna! site hosting request
------------------------------------
Pyspread is currently hosted on Sourceforge.
I would like to migrate to Gna! because Sourceforge focuses more and more on
commercial and marketing activities instead of free software development.
I am planning to shut down the Sourceforge site after moving to Gna! However,
I want to keep a re-direct to the new site.
Features of pyspread
--------------------
Instead of spreadsheet formulas, Python expressions are entered into the
spreadsheet cells. Each expression returns a Python object that can be
accessed from other cells. These objects can represent anything including
lists or matrices.
* Accepts a Python expression in each cell. No spreadsheet specific
language is required.
* Each cell returns a Python object that can be accessed from other
cells. Such objects can represent anything including lists or matrices.
* Direct access to all Python modules from each cell
* Arbitrary size grid for 64 bit-systems (more than 2 million grid cells
for 32-bit systems)
* Three-dimensional grid
* Macro library for more complex Python functions (still empty)
* Unicode support
* CSV import and export
Since Python modules can be easily used without external scripts,
* arbitrary size rational numbers (via gmpy),
* fixed point decimal numbers for business calculations, (via the decimal
module from the standard library) and
* advanced statistics including plotting functions (via RPy)
can be used in the spreadsheet. Everything is directly available from each
cell. Just use the grid.
==== Other Software Required: ====
Pyspread runs on Linux, Windows and *nix platforms with GTK support. I have
reports that it works with MacOS X as well. However, I do not own a Mac and
cannot test things properly there.
Pyspread requires:
Python >=2.4 <3.0 (Python License, http://www.python.org/)
numpy >=1.1.0 (BSD-new license?, http://www.scipy.org/NumPy)
wxPython >=2.8.10.1 (wxWidgets (wxWindows License),
http://www.wxpython.org/)
Pyspread will use but does not depend on the libraries psyco (MIT License,
http://psyco.sourceforge.net/) and lxml (BSD license,
http://codespeak.net/lxml/) when they are available on the system.
==== Other Comments: ====
I have already asked to put the project into the Free Software Directory
http://directory.fsf.org/
