Comment on Python in Excel – Available Nowparent

Comments

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

Tools like xlwing are excellent, but people want to start excel first and stay in that interface.

If we are going to open up Jupyter notebooks, we have already failed.

(That's why VBA works, it's the only thing that runs on locked down corp laptops, because it's inside Excel.)
