Pywin32 on Google App Engine?

I am considering ways to read/modify large Excel spreadsheets with formula support in python, on Google App Engine. I am fairly unfamiliar with how COM works but I was wondering if anyone has successfully implemented pywin32 on GAE - or whether there are inherently problems with doing so, or if it's just a bad idea in general.

It seems like the only possible solution for Python (xlrd has no formula support) but if it doesn't work, I will resort to learning Java and trying JExcel API.

Any insight would be appreciated!

Solution

  • Google's servers are not running Windows, so no, there's no way whatsoever to use any Win32 APIs.
