Hi, I am thinking about creating an Excel add-in that makes it very easy to create Excel macros / add-ins using Python (IronPython) Any feedback about the idea will be greatly appreciated. I have made a prototype of this add-in available here: http://www.xefion.com/en/discoveryscript.html The add-in would be free, although not open-source. It takes quite a bit of “plumbing” to get COM add-ins running within Excel. My add-in would look for Python scripts in a specific directory and automatically create Excel menu-items for all the scripts in that directory. Hence, to get started the user just has to create a one-line Python script and store this script in the designated folder, then he can run the script from Excel. There will be various other options, for example shared network locations with scripts and connecting Excel events (e.g. OpenDoc or SaveDoc) to scripts based on their names. Later versions might also work with other Office programs (e.g. Word). The download-page mentioned above contains a description of feature candidates. :-) Thomas P.
