Python and Excel

[Simon John]

Hmm, sounds interesting, I've always resorted to using CSV (or even
HTML!) when exporting to Excel.

As far as how to open it up, have a look at creating a project on
www.sourceforge.net or just zip it up and bung it on your own website
if you have one. I've got the feeling there are also Python-specific
repositories too. Or you could just paste the code into a blog or
something free like Livejournal.

Good luck on the France thing, that's where my folks live now (I'm an
Englishman who retreated to the US!)
