      If it fails, they can just say “nObOdY wAnTs tHiS oPeN sOuRcE sTuFf AnYwAy”. It is also way more limited than VBA (at least it cannot change your boot sector) as it seems to be confined to spreadsheet cells. A full console with the ability to load .py files would probably be friendlier to power users. Excel formulas get convoluted in that tiny space they show up in, and Python code will need its own separate window for a usable editor.
