I've had a shocking experience of this product (abysmal performance, memory leaks and poor support). It's basically a poorly wrapped version of pyxll[1] which I would recommend instead. It's not production software.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.pyxll.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pyxll.com/</a>
I really really don't want to grammar-nitpick (this looks like an amazing product) but 'less bugs' kind of hints at low quality. If I were you (and I'm not) I would replace that with 'fewer bugs' or whatever.
Wish there was a better sales page explaining what it does instead of having to download a trial. Importing/parsing a .csv file isn't hard in Python. What else does it do?

Drats. So much for my version of Excel on Linux.<p>Seriously, OS X seems a pretty glaring oversight. I know I'll get snide replies about the amount of users, Libre Office, or using Numbers. That misses the point. I can share an Excel document with a normal bit of VBA and share it with any Excel user, dating back several years. This product must be installed on all computers that I'm sharing with, and it totally eliminates OS X users (as well as Excel 2003 users, which a quick check shows makes up anywhere from 10-20% of users)<p>This product looks to be a fit for a controlled environment that needs specific features that VBA simply can't achieve.
What does this product do that you can't already do using
pywin32 and the COM API ?
