Embedding Python in MS-Office

[jazzcat2]

Hello,

Does anyone have examples handy of how you might embed an IronPython
script in MSO?

For example, you might have a menu item that, when you select it, uses
Python to aggregate data from outside sources and insert the data into a
Word document or Excel cells.

My end goal here is to make an abstraction library so that if you write an
Office script, the same script can be used unmodified on MS-Office or
OpenOffice.  I've done scripts like this for OpenOffice but not MSO.

Cheers,
-JK

You'd have to write an add-in for office that hosted the .NET runtime and provided a hosting API that IP could interact with. I don't think this would be a small undertaking.
