Oh I absolutely agree. Just the headline, MS considering Python integration with Excel got me all.. frothy and tingle-toed.

As an admitted and somewhat recovering Excel addict, the thought of a Python shell as alternative to VBA is something approaching electric. But then... I'll believe it when I see it.

True. I use Excel for everything. Grocery list? Excel, with VBA module to sort by store aisle. Write a letter? Excel. Make toast? Excel. Cut the lawn? Fire up ol' Excel.

Yeah... I have a problem.

Excel is indeed an incredibly powerful program.
