streamlit

Streamlit is a python library to build data apps. This is similar to observable, and evidence.

With uv, it is easy to see what streamlit looks like -- uv run --with streamlit streamlit hello -- this launches a demo app with a couple different visualization screens.

This is more along the lines of "UI controls that allow you to change the parameters of a chart/visualization" than evidence's "Dynamic report" approach.

Streamlit is a pythonic middle ground between reporting oriented evidence and a very visualization oriented observable.

another way to look at these three: streamlit is python, observable is javascript, and evidence is sql.

xlwings Lite documentation

lite.xlwings.org

xlwings Lite brings the VBA experience into the modern age by offering a privacy-first, secure, and developer-friendly way to automate Excel and write custom functions with Python.

It’s an Excel add-in that runs a web assembly instance of python locally on your machine and you can write excel macros and formulas with python instead of VBA. This differs from Microsoft’s Python for Excel in that it is 100% local, Microsoft uses an Azure instance to run the Python code.
