Re: how to convert VB scripts to Gnumeric python

[dm-gnome mercuryresearch com]

I'm putting together a sample application today, and will put it on 
github when done.

I will include the current patches I have against 1.12.32. This will 
probably be of very short term use, as when I went to github this 
morning I discovered Morten is going wild on commits related to Python, 
so the demo will probably be a work in progress. (The good news for me, 
personally, is that it appears a lot of the errors I see currently with 
my application will disappear with his revisions.)

If nothing else, it'll give us some structure for a minimalist set of 
Pythonic API functions that could be included with an app.

The example will be through the python side interface. I really would 
like to have a python-loader type extensibility interface on the 
wishlist (since it would make adding features to gnumeric at the end 
user level far easier) but we have to crawl before we walk.
