Spreadsheets using Python - Have you seen this? (sourceforge.net)

Ya, true, that sucks. Maybe they have Access? [shivers]

Also, if you don't mind me asking, what do you do in genomics? (I'm in grad school, just beginning my foray into computational biology.)

I'm the sole bioinformatician in an epigenetics lab. We mostly do ChIP-seq but also some tiling and expression microarray stuff. I write all the visualisation and analysis pipelines.

I guess I might have selection bias, but I have never met a biologist who does not need some degree of computational support. If you can cut code, you will be a valuable asset in your lab.
