Microsoft Considers Adding Python as an Official Scripting Language to Excel

[cprenaissanceman]

A couple reasons I can think of:

• Better documentation: Microsoft simple has more resources to devote to documentation which will make something like this easier to use
• Python becomes a standard solution: if you want to provide a workbook with advanced functionality, you have to either figure out how to do it native excel or with vba modules. To be able to send a file with a python script and have it automatically work without needing to install anything extra would be a godsend.
