A Python-Powered Budget Spreadsheet

  • You could also use Resolver One[1], which sadly is no longer in development[2]. It is a commercial spreadsheet written in IronPython that uses (almost?) vanilla python files as documents. Needless to say it is extremely scriptable.

    I'd love to take a stab at making a lite version in QT or wxPython running in CPython... Sadly, I've gotten too used to Google Spreadsheets to really need a desktop version

    Also, of course, LibreOffice has support for Python macros.

  • Personal finance software is probably one of the most commonly attacked problems in the development world, and yet there are still a ton of people just building custom spreadsheets.

    I've tried Quicken and Mint and PageOnce (now called Check) and a number of other things, and I've still found that the best solution for me is a mix of GnuCash and Spreadsheets.

    Why hasn't this problem been solved yet?

  • Love seeing your posts, but would appreciate when I see 'em here, especially when posted by a founder, some mention of your YCombinator Summer 2012 status and backing.

  • Every screenshot is blurred. Could fake data not have been used for demonstration purposes?

  • When will people learn that gaussian blur is not a secure redaction method?

  • There were times in my life when I would have loved to have had this, but nowadays I rarely see spreadsheets (not just excel, but the concept in general) as much of a solution to anything.

  • The string concatenation in this make me want to cry...

  • "Now to get Excel to talk to eBay…"

    Should just use python for that too.

  • What does "Share scripts with up to 4 users" (Enterprice License) mean?
