I still have a soft spot for VBA, especially in Excel. I wrote a supply-chain management application in Excel+VBA that's still in production today. As comfortable as I am with VBA, I wouldn't mind in the least ditching it for Python, which makes writing routine methods trivial. Great work!



Glad you like it!

We're also backwards compatible - you can keep running old VBA code, and write new scripts in Python.


So many offices have lots of functionality written as VBA, you've made a lot of people very happy by giving us Python to play with!


Wow, backwards compatible?! That's awesome. That must have taken some serious COM magic.


Could you elaborate? Why shouldn't two script engines run alongside each other, as long as it's not at the same time on the same data?


I was under the impression that it meant you can call into VBA from Python and vice versa.
