spreadsheet in Sage -- or Sage calculations in a spreadsheet?

It's a spreadsheet written in Python. Your cell formulas are just Python
expressions. You can import modules and so on. Looks interesting...I
wonder if having Sage available in a spreadsheet would be useful.

(One thing I really dislike about spreadsheets is looking up formula
names and so on -- and doing any real programming is a pain when your
source code is on a single line. This could be nice.)

Personally I think Sage could not try to expand to this sort of feature, and
should concentrate are more important things. There are perfectly good
spreadsheets around.

might be worth a look

There is a Mathematica to Excel connector of some sort, but I'm a bit sceptical
of the need for this in Sage

Thanks for this link. Personally, I would really like to see this in Sage.
I'm not sure if pyspread is mature enough yet though...

I agree with Dan, it would be fantastic to have a spreadsheet that
accepted sage code into cells. I can use excel to some extent, but I
don't like it. Importing just doesn't cut it.
