I'm dreaming of typing directly into cell B1 (or the python window):
   C1:G100 = python.reshape(A1:A500, 5)     or
   C = [x**2 for x in A if x < 50]

But with the python window and the new extended bindings for range and
rangerefs, maybe this isn't so far off. There are times when I don't
want to have to restart gnumeric every time I change a python script.
