As VBA & Python user this book has been of great support for me – the introduction chapters are a refreshment of the basic (but often misunderstood!) elements in a development environment i.e. package managers, conda environments, virtual environments, IDEs, etc…
The rest of the book is only getting better covering all the functionalities and different ways in which xlwings can be used to connect Python with Excel. One of those books that you read, and directly understand without the need of a second source of knowledge.
To have a written reference that goes hand and hand with a “very alive” Python library is a win situation for anyone writing code in Python, but wanting to interact with Excel.
