IronPython and scipy/pyExcelerator

I'm looking forward to the release IronPython, primarily for its IDE. I
currently use scipy and pyExcelerator to crunch numbers and write them
to Excel: does can these packages be used with IronPython as well?

Thanks in advance

I don't think so unless scipy has a release for .net. I think all those nice
algorithms are in C or Fortran and mostly haven't been translated into C#.

You could try Python for .NET. This is a version of cPython with
support for .NET built in.

You may have to amend the code that Visual Studio produces to work with
Python for .NET rather than for IronPython (necessary changes may be
restricted to the import syntax).

SciPy makes extensive use of C extensions which aren't currently
supoorted by IronPython. There has been some preliminary work done dy
Seo Sanghyeon on a 'reflector' that uses ctypes to allow IronPython to
access cPython C extensions. My understanding is that it works (at
least partially) but that the exceptions it returns are (currently)
confusing.

See
http://groups.google.com/group/comp....7e157124943e9f

and also search the IronPython mailing lists. Alternatively you could
use interprocess communication between cPython and IronPython ;-)

All the best,
Fuzzyman

Hi, Yesterday I placed a bug report on PyExcelerators-Sourceforge-page... but I am not so sure anymore, whether this is really a bug - I could imagine that I missed something, but I don't see what. Please confirm that my bug is due to mishandling and I will gladly retreat my bug report. In a formula, I would like to point to a field on another worksheet. pyExcelerator chokes on these references!

I downloaded PyExcelerator.zip as I need to write some data into Excel files, and tried unsuccessfully to install it. I unzipped the files into C:/Python24/Lib/site-packages/PyExcelerator, and in a python command line window typed >>>os.chdir("C:/Python24/Lib/site-packages/PyExcelerator") followed by >>>python ./setup.py install

I have just installed PyExcelerator, and now want to use it to read Excel spreadsheets with a variable number of rows and columns and with multiple sheets. Unfortunately, no documentation seems to accompany PyExcelerator. Does anyone know of a good source of documentations and/or examples? The author provides some examples, but these tend to involve writing data into spreadsheets one cell at a time. Thanks in advance Thomas Philips

Hi I would like to 1. import an existing Excel-sheet (a template) 2. and add some data to it 3. and save it under a different name afterwards. To me it seems, that pyExcelerator does not support the reading for modification of an Excel-sheet. It allows only the "parse_xls" but I would like to keep the "formatting" in the template.

My program creates three lists: the first has dates expressed as strings, the second has floats that are strictly positive, and the third has floats that are strictly negative. I have no trouble writing the data in these lists to a .csv file using the csv module using the following code. outfile = file(fn + '.csv','wb') writer = csv.writer(outfile) for i in range(len(dateList)): writer.writerow(, posVals, negVals])

I'm using pyExcelerator to take a folder of CSV files and create Excel workbooks for all of them, then generate an Excel workbook with the data from all of them. Everything up until here works great; next, I make a second worksheet on the last workbook which has summary details regarding the previous worksheet. Here I run into a problem.
