Sorry, but what's the connection to Python?
There is (I am told) a significant amount of work automating Excel.
Unfortunately this isn't clear from the job description (I didn't write it).
I know from experience that this can be achieved admirably using Python (and
Mark Hammond's extensions). Personally I would like to see the work done in
Python, but that depends on who applies and whether those who make the
decisions can be convinced that it's an appropriate language (well, moreso
than VBA). It's certainly not a full-time programming job (due to the
social science / modelling component), but it does need someone who can
write good maintainable code.

Bash, Awk, Python are all good tools, and Math/Engineering would be good
background to have. But, this is job for local undergraduate students,
not outside programmer or consultants. :-)

If it's any help, the Mac version of Excel can also be scripted via
Apple events. The most common language for this is AppleScript [no
comment:p], but Apple Event Manager bridges are also available for
Perl (see Mac::Glue at <http://search.cpan.org/~cnandor/>) and
MacPython (see appscript at
<http://freespace.virgi n.net/hamish.sanderso n/appscript.html> ; not
quite finished but getting there). This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi Experts,
Looking for a very quick bit on of advice on how to make some python
code run. I'm a newbie to both VBA and Python, so i apologise if this
is very easy but i'm about to tear my hair out after googling for the
last 3 days.
I have written a large python script which inside of it creates an
Excel table, the name of this file and how many objects can change for
each project i run.

We have a data acquisition program that saves its output to Excel's

files the average user can read.
I'd like some advice on how to go about:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
