Team

We started xlwings because during our years in trading and asset management we saw the need to make working with Excel productive and enjoyable again. And to provide a sane technological environment for Excel that users and organizations can rely on. We have seen many projects aiming to replace Excel fail. We believe in embracing Excel, not replacing. That's why we've built xlwings, our open-source Python project: to bridge the Excel world with the thriving Python ecosystem.
