Calling Python from VBA.


o see examples of Python-VBA interaction look at the implementation of the functions pfeEval and pfeCmd in the VBA code for otsPythonForExcel.xla(m). Do not, however, explicitly open that addin. It would lead to repeated initialization and will corrupt the namespace. If the PFE is properly installed then the PFE addin should be already loaded into every open Excel instance. Simply open a VBA window and look at the otsPythonForExcel.xla(m) code.
