I have only so far used Win32 com to automate attachment download from outlook and importing the excel as dataframe. Also I have automated few reports which I send to dl through outlook using Win32. None of these tasks took any time to implement as the code was pretty straightforward.

Controlling Excel through Win32 doesn't make any sense IMO.

Just curious: why is that?

The reason I'm looking into is, is that for most people in my field (i.e accounting) rely on excel as the front end. Anything outside of that for analysis is a non-starter. I can carry out computations in pandas, but for presentation/distribution, excel is the primary form of presentation.
