That would be awesome. With Sheets, I often jump into AppScript to write a quick javascript function to do what I want instead of having to deal with weird syntax. I wish I could do the same in Python.

Doesn't the libre office equivalent do python?

Ah, very interesting. Though it seems they only have the document control API. What I like about the Sheets integration is that you can write normal formulas you can use inside cells. like

    function REVERSE_STRING(input) {
      return input.split("").reverse().join("");
    }

and then call that inside a cell formula.

FYI, I wasn't wishing, this is planned by MS.

In the latest (that I can find) Excel team's Reddit AMA [0], Python was not addressed at all.
