Python.

I actually want to use Python in a spreadsheet program but it's more difficult than it should be, DataNitro is not free and Gnumeric's Python support is not enabled in Windows builds. Pyspread doesn't work quite like a regular spreadsheet program.

I remember resolver one doing exactly this but the main problem was that it "wasn't Excel" http://www.resolversystems.com/products/resolver-one/power.p...

What difference to regular spreadsheets makes Pyspread unusable for you?
