Great post! did you forget YUI?

I tried to limit my research to jquery components only. The list at the end of the post if far from completeness. But yes, I forgot it :-(

some got one for python?

I had an idea I had seen at least one a while ago, so I hit search for "python modules spreadsheet", and fished out this (cross-platform, GTK+) at the top:

http://pyspread.sourceforge.net/

The rest of the results also include some xls/odf read/write modules. Coupling with Google docs/whatever may be another idea.

Somewhat off topic, but Resolver One is an interesting mix of python and spreadsheets... http://www.resolversystems.com/

Really looking for a nice little web editor for editing a .csv config

But thx anyway :)

    import csv
    file = csv.reader(open('config.csv'), delimiter='\t')
    for row in file:
        for cell in row:
            # do something with the cell

im more of a

csv.DictReader(open('config.csv'), delimiter=",")

guy myself, but thx anyway :)
