🐍🎧 Episode #186 of the Real Python Podcast is live: “Exploring Python in Excel” with @john_lam #python #podcast realpython.com/podcasts/rpp/1…

Python in Excel now has Copilot integration - just announced today at Ignite. Excel is a great canvas to collaborate with an AI. It gives you a place to express your intent, and you can clearly see both the generated code, its output and an explanation as well.

With Copilot in Excel, you can create advanced visualizations, generate forecasts, and save time sorting through data with Python. Take a look: msft.it/60139iZiv #AI #Microsoft365

A common question that has come up is why don't we run Python locally? There are three main reasons: 1. Running Python securely on a local machine is a really hard problem. We treat all Python code in the workbook as untrusted, so we execute it in a hypervisor-isolated container on Azure that does not have any outbound network access. Python code and the data that it operates on is sent to be executed in the container. The Microsoft-licensed Python environment in the container is provided by Anaconda and was prepared using their stringent security practices as documented here: docs.anaconda.com/free/anaconda/… 2. Sharing Excel workbooks with others is a really important scenario. We wanted to ensure that Python code in a workbook that you share will behave as you intended when someone else opens it; they wouldn't first need to install Python first. 3. We need to ensure that the Python in Excel feature always works for our customers. The value of Python is in its ecosystem of libraries, not just in providing a Python interpreter. But managing a local Python environment is challenging even for the most experienced developers. By running on Azure, we remove the need for users or their systems administrators to have to maintain a local installation of Python on every machine that uses the feature in their organization.

We built a thing! #Python in #Excel - now in preview, brings the best of Python analytics straight to the Excel grid. I cannot wait to see what our community builds leveraging pandas, matplotlib, scikit-learn, and more! See: techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/excel-blog/…

Microsoft is bringing Python to Excel. The two worlds of Excel and Python are colliding thanks to Microsoft’s new integration to boost data analysis and visualizations. Details here: theverge.com/2023/8/22/2384…

Yeah, so I helped the Excel team with this. Excited that it's out! techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/excel-blog/…

Python in Excel is now a thing! Python is now a peer of the Excel formula language and you can mix both languages seamlessly in the Excel grid. Python runs on Azure and is powered by the @anacondainc Python distribution. This was a multi-year collaboration between the Python team in Developer Division and the Excel team. It was a privilege of a lifetime to work daily with @gvanrossum @ahejlsberg @keyurp32 @jjmcdaid @zooba @iritkatriel @oterocarlos and a few other folks who don't use this site. techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/excel-blog/…

@gvanrossum Thank you @gvanrossum. Have really enjoyed working with you and our broader "App Model" team with @john_lam , @jjmcdaid, and team.

@richardpoelderl @Microsoft365Dev @juaneloBalmori But yes, StackOverflow and GitHub are the recommended places to get help out on OfficeJS, so glad you were able to do that!

@richardpoelderl @Microsoft365Dev sorry, just saw this but for Outlook, @juaneloBalmori can help you out!

I'm struggling inspecting console logs when developing an outlook add-in on my mac I've tried - the Safari Web Inspector (see docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/…) - the VSCode Debugger extension (see github.com/OfficeDev/Offi…) To no avail. Any help? @keyurp32 @rsudhi @TheLarkInn

@juaneloBalmori 😂
