Making things simpler...
Chris Withers will be giving a tutorial on "Working with Excel files in Python" at this year's Europython Conference.
The tutorial will cover the xlrd, xlwt and xlutils packages which provide excellent open source tools for reading, writing and manipulating Excel files in pure python with no need to use COM, Windows or Excel itself.
More information can be found on the Europython website.
This is the first release of this cross-platform, pluggable tool for comparing the configuration of a machine with a known configuration stored in text files in a source control system.
This is a handler for the python standard logging framework that can be used to tell whether messages have been logged at or above a certain level.
This is the latest release of this collection of mock objects and helpers for writing unit tests and doc tests.
This release includes memory and speed enhancements for xlutils.filter and xlutils.copy.
