python plugin for excel (ala gnumeric)

[Sebastien de Menten]

Hi,

I've read lot of messages on googlegroups without finding what I'm
looking for :-(

I need a plugin that enables me to access a python VM directly from
excel (the COM server path is not satisfactory as it uses the
registry).

Grosso modo, if I have the equivalent of the python module/plugin of
gnumeric (http://grub.ath.cx/gnumeric-python/ or
http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~ctwardy/starting-with-python.html) it
would be great !

tx for any hint

Sebastien

The Excel add-in works (I thought) through COM, so I don't
know if what you want is possible.

Excel and Outlook use the same API. The route I took to figure
Excel's out was to start with Mark Hammond's SpamBayes Outlook
add-in for clues, combined with the VBA help for Excel and plenty
of web searches for the relevant functions.
