Have you tried the CSP build of AlpineJS? It takes the code out of the template into a proper JS file, no unsafe-eval. Isn't state management mostly handled on the backend when you…

I am not a random user, but the creator. The dependencies are managed via standard requirements.txt file, which is stored in the Excel workbook itself. When you open xlwings Lite w…

No, this is for Excel only, but it does work with the free online version of Excel. I think LibreOffice has support for Python via PyOO.

It's exactly why I built xlwings, to replace VBA with Python. Python in Excel instead is a competitor to the Excel formula language.

No offense taken, and happy that xlwings was an inspiration for creating Row Zero! I don't really buy the security issues though for being the reason for switching from Excel to Ro…

As the author of said second class add-in, let me just guess that your most popular feature request was adding the "Import from xlsx" functionality...which describes the whole issu…

xlwings is a competitor to VBA rather than openpyxl: openpyxl can read and write the Excel file on disk, without involving the Excel application. xlwings is all about automating th…
