Max OSX and Excel

Hi there,

Does anyone have details on how to drive excel using python 2.4 on OSX?
I've searched the web and have not found anything specific to excel.

Thanks in advance,

Try AppScript: http://appscript.sourceforge.net/

It's a Python-to-Apple Events bridge. It allows you to access a
scriptable application using the same mechanism that underlies
AppleScript, but from Python. Excel has good AppleScript support, so it
should be supported by AppScript as well.
