Overview
It is convenient to use Windows OLE to open up Excel and inject data into it. This can be done for both PERL and Ruby using the Cygwin versions of these scripting languages. However, for Python you need to use pywin32 - and this will not build under Cygwin because of the lack of the _winreg module. It can be used with Windows native versions of Python from python.org and also ActiveState Python.
