Hi Group -
I have written a "semi-program" in MS Excel related to running a football
pool. I've updated it over the past two years or so, to the point where it
is getting pretty advanced. Only, there are a few tricks that I want to
add that I could not do in Excel - so I did them in Python :) Except as it
stands, the current python scripts have to be run via the command line.
Does anyone know how to allow interaction between Excel and Python via
EXCEL?
I've looked on Mark Hammond's page, and I've figured out how to interact
with Python and Excel from PYTHON, but I can't seem to find the right info
for making the calls from the other end (i.e. from Excel). Any advice
would be GREATLY appreciated!
PS - If anyone has any interest in this type of program, please let me know
- I'd be more than willing to release via the GPL or something to that
effect. Thanks Again...

You can use COM to go both ways. Just create a COM server in Python
and register it so that Excel can find it.
Check out "Quick Start to Server side COM and Python" in the win32
documents.
You will have to write a little VBScript on the excel side to
interface, I think.

One way of approaching this would be to package your Python code
as a COM server. This is actually much easier than you might think
(this reference is quite old but is still relevant): http://www.python.org/windows/win32c...ServerCom.html
You can make calls on your object from Excel VBA. For example you
could call on the object in the reference above as:
Dim HelloWorld As Object
Set HelloWorld = CreateObject("t estcomserver.He lloWorld")
MsgBox HelloWorld.Hell o("Kevin")

Hi all,
I am trying to write some code (macro's, if you like) to glue together
our Office applications (mainly Word, Excel and Outlook). We have a lot
of different projects going on simultaneously. The idea is to develop a
centralized framework (starting point, common interface) for my users
to view/control their documents/correspondence, on a per project basis.
As an example, I'd like to have a control (button, menu entry) in

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.

Hey all. Just thought I'd ask a general question for my own interest. Every time I think of something I might do in Python, it usually involves creating a GUI interface, so I was wondering what kind of work you all do with Python that does *not* involve any GUI work. This could be any little scripts you write for your own benefit, or what you do at work, if you feel like talking about that! :)
Thanks.

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,...
