I manage the database application, data integration, and reporting for a financial aid office, and I use Python every day. Though I only seldom have to write new programs or update my old ones. I use it to shuffle and sort important files around, to convert reports into formats necessary for various import and export functions, to reconcile data between database systems, and to maintain little text databases for various business processes. The only "programming language" I use more often is Excel (VLOOKUP and Pivot Tables specifically). Python can replace any individual Excel application, but I use Excel for a bunch of one-timers, for which I find it more convenient. Python enters the picture when I find something that I need to do frequently, and with similar data inputs and outputs. -- Neil Cerutti -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
