Re: how to convert VB scripts to Gnumeric python

If you are looking for easy scripting of such operations, then you will not
currently find it.
The python and perl plugins have never been used for anything serious as
far as I know.

Various parts of Gnumeric are available through gobject introspection and
therefore
are callable from python and, likely, other scripting languages.    In
principle the bindings
should work, but I haven't used them much myself.  You would be breaking
new trail
here.

Here's a sample that just does a numerical computation:

$ python
Python 2.7.12 (default, Dec  4 2017, 14:50:18)
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from gi.repository import Gnm;
__main__:1: PyGIWarning: Gnm was imported without specifying a version
first. Use gi.require_version('Gnm', '1.12') before import to ensure that
the right version gets loaded.
>>> Gnm.qnorm(0.2,0,1,0,0)
0.8416212335729144
