Writing a Web Service in Python for MS Office Research Task Pane

Hi fellow pythoneers,

I'm thinking about writing a simple web service for use in the
"Research Task Pane" in Microsoft Office. There is a lot of C# and VB
code samples out there and tutorials on how to do this in Visual
Studio on Windows; however, I am interested in writing the web service
in Python and keep it available on a web server running Linux. Does
anybody have any experience on this? Code samples? Reasons for NOT
attempting this in Python?

Much obliged,

Mickel Grönroos

Hi.

Ideally, I could get Word/Excel to alert...
