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.<p>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<p>Also, of course, LibreOffice has support for Python macros.<p>[1]: <a href="http://www.resolversystems.com/products/resolver-one/" rel="nofollow">http://www.resolversystems.com/products/resolver-one/</a><p>[2]: <a href="http://www.resolversystems.com/eol.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.resolversystems.com/eol.php</a>
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.<p>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.<p>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.
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.
