520 _aWhile Excel remains ubiquitous in the business world, recent Microsoft feedback forums are full of requests to include Python as an Excel scripting language-in fact, it's the top feature requested. What makes this combination so compelling? In this hands-on guide, Felix Zumstein-creator of xlwings, a popular open source package that allows the automation of Excel with Python-shows experienced Excel users how to integrate these two worlds efficiently.
