Hi all I'm new to Python but soon after a few days of studying its features I find it my favourite mean of programming scripts to allow for data storing and mining. My idea would be to inplement python scripts from inside an excel sheet that would store and fetch data from a Mysql database. So i need the script to be launched, say, by pressing a button in excel and, for instance, retrieve immediately data from the mysql table. For what I found in the net, it seems there are three ways to control python from excel: 1) run my python script via shell using the Run command in VBA, which seems to me the easiest (but maybe slower?) way; 2) creating a COM server, for which I need more training since it doesnt appear that easy; 3) via Microsoft Script Control, for which I saw some example around where It looks like I can 'simulate' a python shell via the 'executeStatement' command.
What would you suggest would be the more performing way to achieve my goals as described above? Thanks for you help Maurizio -- Maurizio www.mauriziospadaccino.com --------------- If you can avoid printing this e-mail, you are only doing good for our planet.
