wxPython

I would like to create a wxPython based spread sheet program. I have
googled and checked the wiki and am suprised to find so little. Does
anyone have or know of one that has at least the barebones already in
place? Also, is anyone aware of a python module for opening excel
files (.xls)? Since openoffice can do it, I assume it isn't
proporietary to microsoft.

Thanks,

Ryan

Sorry, I meant to have a more helpful subject like "wxPython
spreadsheet program"

pyExcelerator seems pretty cool and could do much of the backend work.
Is there an example of using it to read data from an existing Excel
file? For example, if someone were to give me an existing Excel file
and I wanted to maipulate the data in python and spit back out an
Excel file, what would I need to do? Can you point me in the right
direction?

Are there any other fairly complete front end examples (i.e. a gui
using wxGrid)? The examples that come with wxPython are a little
vague to me.

Thanks again,

Ryan

and if you use FreeBSD, you can install it from ports collection:

/usr/ports/textproc/py-excelerator

Try pyxlwriter:

sourceforge.net/projects/pyxlwriter/

it writes an OLE stream which = fast

There was a module contributed to the lib a few years ago without any code for the demo (read that as I don't know if it still works :wink: ) that you may want to look at. It is wx.lib.sheet.
