Resolver One - a spreadsheet development environment for creating
business applications (aimed particularly at the financial services
industry) is written in IronPython.

There are around 30 000 lines of Python in the production code and
about 120 000 lines of Python code in the test framework.

Here is a quote from "Credit Cooperatif", a large French bank who are
now using Resolver One:

We use Excel and VBA, but we prefer Python for its combination of
simplicity and power. We were looking to better link spreadsheets with
Python programming, and Resolver One seemed to be the most elegant
solution because it was based on Python but also gave us compatibility
with our IT team’s architectural choice of Microsoft .NET.
