MySQL Forums :: Python :: Advice: Excel vs PYTHON/MYSQL soultion

Ok, experts.....

I have an app built on excel 2003/2007, I want to port to Python/Mysql, any advice.

The app does alot on calcs, which I have a found a way to control. Looking more speed. Excel already read/writs from MySQL. Any good articles on either the python/jython end or Mysql. Not a using PHP, nor XML, nor Web portal.
Structure inputs>>Excel>>>Mysql>>>>Excel>>>>output


Any thoughts.
