Assuming that what slows down things is neither Python nor Excel, but the communication between these I'd try to do as much as possible in Python. For example (untested): def transientTestDict(self, ws, startrow, startcol): self.hwaDict = OrderedDict() self.yawRateDict = OrderedDict() time_col, hwa_col, yawrate_col = range(startcol, startcol+3) for row in xrange(startrow, sys.maxint): time = ws.Cells(row, time_col).Value if time is None: break hwa = ws.Cells(row, hwa_col).Value yawrate = ws.Cells(row, yawrate_col).Value self.hwaDict[time] = hwa, row, time_col self.yawRateDict[time] = yawrate, row, time_col While this avoids cell arithmetic in Excel it still fetches every value separately, so I have no idea if there is a significant effect. Does Excel provide a means to get multiple cell values at once? That would likely help. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
