A Python-Powered Budget Spreadsheet

You could also use Resolver One[1], which sadly is no longer in development[2]. It is a commercial spreadsheet written in IronPython that uses (almost?) vanilla python files as documents. Needless to say it is extremely scriptable.

I'd love to take a stab at making a lite version in QT or wxPython running in CPython... Sadly, I've gotten too used to Google Spreadsheets to really need a desktop version

Also, of course, LibreOffice has support for Python macros.

Not sure why estebank's comment was downvoted; Resolver One was truly awesome. DataNitro's stuff is also interesting, but it's a different approach, and Resolver One's model and work shouldn't be forgotten.

I gave an upvote. I suspect others downvoted the comment because it spoke well of Resolver One, which is competing in the same space as DataNitro (a YC company).

"Now to get Excel to talk to eBay…" Should just use python for that too.

Love seeing your posts, but would appreciate when I see 'em here, especially when posted by a founder, some mention of your YCombinator Summer 2012 status and backing.

Are there docs on python macros for LibreOffice? I'm having trouble tracking them down if there are...
