Re: Python, Factset, and Excel - Oh my!

I'm still a Python novice.
I'm still attempting to migrate a Python-based process from
Windows2000/Python v2.4.2 (#67)/Excel2000 to WindowsXP/Python v2.5.2
(r252:60911)/Excel2003.
I now have a new "opportunity"!
I need some help with the step in the Python script that calls Excel and
invokes the Factset API to download data into a spreadsheet. I'm
thinking that this is a Python / Factset API setup issue. Is the
Factset API installed as a component of Python? Or does the Factset API
exist in Windows and available to any application, like Python?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
What's the Factset API? If you're talking about http://www.factset.com/
I'm pretty sure you have to install something to make it available.
