[python-win32] Python as VBA replacement

[Jens B. Jorgensen]

You may want to investigate Active Scripting. This allows various 
scripting engines to be used generically. In fact, Mark Hammond's 
extensions include the necessary glue to make Python work as an Active 
Scripting Engine and in fact, Python can be used to write ASP pages. The 
Active Scripting Engine provides what you're talking about. Of course, 
I'm not sure this does you any good if an existing application is using VBA.
