No good can come of this! ;-P
Seriously, though – I really really strongly dislike spreadsheet interfaces. I hate resizing cells so I can see what’s going on, I hate cell selection, copy/pasting, and doing anything in those little cells. However, I really *need* to use one to handle some administrivia at Python Magazine, because it’s already being used by some back end processes/departments, and I don’t have time to write code and overhaul that whole process, and I don’t want to rock the boat anyway – what they have works – I just hate spreadsheets. It’s my problem, not theirs 😉
The good news is they use Google Docs, and there’s a Google Data client library for Python. So I’m creating a command line interface to the spreadsheet 🙂
