How do I start Mac Python scripts from Excel?

[Noah]

I figured out the "Applet" thing. This let's me run the script just
by double-clicking. Still, it feels a bit dirty -- like COMPILING.
I wish I could just run the script directly. But I'm happy with the
applet solution

I do not know. I don't know Applescript either.
But this might be a good tip in the right direction.

That worked perfectly. As long as I don't print anything then
the Python script finishes cleaning without the user having to close anything.

Thanks for the help. ... Soon I will be switching to MacOS X where I hope
a lot of these problems will go away.
