writing gnumeric functions in python (fwd)

[Bruce Sass <bsass@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca>]

Hi All,

Sorry 'bout the To: header... but it is (hmmm) inter-disciplinary, and
the topic appears neglected enough to warrant such drastic a action.

[feel free to give me a virtual slap-upside-the-head if I'm wrong]

Subject: writing gnumeric functions in python


I'm using Gnumeric 0.64 as delivered with Mandrake 8.0.  I'm trying to
figure out what you can do in Python to program the Gnumeric spreadsheet.  I
couldn't find anything in the Gnumeric manual.  I have a few questions and
was hoping someone here could steer me in the right direction.

    1. Do I have to add functions to the central startup file
       (.../python/gnumeric_startup.py) or can I define a Python module
       somewhere in my personal directory tree that will get loaded?

The point is not Skip's problem,
but why isn't that sort of question being asked here, on
debian-{kde,python}?

There is the kdebindings package... does it do anything for anyone?
Are there any python or perl scripts for KSpread, KWord, etc.,
kicking around?

I did notice that the dcoppython package would conflict with PyQt,
if there was a PyQt package (what's up with that?)

What is the state of this kind of user-programmable functionality with
KDE, Debian-KDE?
