Use Python to Write VBA Script?

Question

This might be a bit of a stretch, but is there a possibility that a python script can be used to create VBA in MS Excel (or any other MS Office product that uses VBA) using

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible. You can start looking at how you can generate a VBA macro from VB on that Microsoft KB.

The Python code below is illustrating how you can do the same ; it is a basic port of the first half of the KB sample code:

import win32com.client as win32

import comtypes, comtypes.client

xl = win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Excel.Application')
xl.Visible = True
ss = xl.Workbooks.Add()
sh = ss.ActiveSheet

xlmodule = ss.VBProject.VBComponents.Add(1)  # vbext_ct_StdModule

sCode = '''sub VBAMacro()
       msgbox "VBA Macro called"
      end sub'''

xlmodule.CodeModule.AddFromString(sCode)

You can look at the visible automated Excel macros, and you will see the VBAMacro defined above.
