Me at #pyconau2025 a few weeks ago: huh, I can embed Python in Excel? That's interesting but when would I use it?

Me this week: ah, that's when.

Use case: prototyping for clients who already have a great big Excel sheet but I want to do something a bit complicated with the data, but still want them to be able to work within their spreadsheet.

I wouldn't use it for big projects. Having code split across multiple cells makes it difficult to audit, and it seems to be using some older versions of packages. But handy in the right situation.

i have been waiting for someone to give @nickzoic's talk about the parallels between human genetics and IT infrastructure for a decade or two #pyconau2025

Will you be in Melbs for @pyconau #PyConAU #PyConAU2025 in the next few days?

Don't miss MDC's @KathyReid speaking on Sun 14th in Ballroom 1 at 1410hrs - introducing a better way to provide and source #data for #AI. Sneak peek:

@pyconau We're delighted to auspice #PyConAU #PyConAU2025 - wishing all attendees a fantastic conference, and our gratitude to the Organisers and Volunteers for all their efforts 🐍 ❤️

Bag dropped, now it really feels like I am on my way to @pyconau #pyconau2025 #pyconau

With my #Mozilla Foundation #CommonVoice hat on, I'm delighted to be speaking in just under a fortnight at @pyconau about the #MozillaDataCollective, a new platform initiative that puts you in control of your #datasets.

Better #AI requires better #data - and better data requires collective, collaborative, co-created approaches: the Mozilla Data Collective.

#PyConAU #PyConAU2025

PyCon AU (the finest vaguely-python-related-things conference in Australia and quite possible the entire world) is on in Melbourne again, September 12-14 2025!
https://2025.pycon.org.au/

I'll be there talking about the eerie parallels between the #microprocessor and #cell_biology ... and there'll be a lot of other interesting and probably more useful things to learn about too: https://pretalx.com/pycon-au-2025/schedule/
