title: Using Python to program MS Office macros?
body: <p>I've recently taken it as a project to teach myself how to program in Python.  Overall, I must say that I'm impressed with it.</p>
  
  <p>In the past I've typically stuck to programming in VBA mostly for MS Excel (but also a bit in MS Access and Word) and have struggled to find ways to make it do things that Python can easily do with a single command.</p>
  
  <p>I was wondering if there were a reasonable way to harness the programming power and ease of Python while at the same time make use of the various tools in Office (mostly Excel)?</p>
