I'm quite worried that I'll get deeply involved with one spreadsheet app, design a big spreadsheet and enter a lot of data, before realising that I need some computation that it can't do. I'm gonna need to do some odd computations on this data. The thing that would save me is a good scripting API, so that I can just write my own functions with the full power of a programming language. I know Python, for example. So far I've been using Gnumeric. It has a Python API that is incomplete and only partially documented, a C API that is complete but undocumented, and a Perl API which is undocumented (and I can't hack Perl). It seems to be a great spreadsheet program otherwise but the scripting a little worrying. So I went looking for some sort of documentation or tutorial on what sort of scripting API OpenOffice Calc provides, but I'm not turning up much information. I think it has its own scripting language (called Uno perhaps?) and that there is also an API for Python. Is this correct? How complete is the scripting support? Is there any good documentation for it?
