This gets rid of the dreaded "Fi= lename is already open..." error message that was sometimes shown in this c= ontext. It also allows the VBA hooks ("RunPython") to work correctly if the= very same file is opened in various instances of Excel. Check the Release Notes for full details:=20 http://docs.xlwings.org/whatsnew.html=20 About xlwings:=20 xlwings is a BSD-licensed python library that makes it easy to call python = from=20 Excel and vice versa:=20 Interact with Excel from python using a syntax that is close to VBA yet pyt= honic.=20 Replace your VBA macros with python code and still pass around your workboo= ks as easily as before.=20 xlwings fully supports NumPy arrays and Pandas DataFrames.=20 It works with Microsoft Excel on Windows and Mac.=20 http://xlwings.org
