If you don't care about formulas and formatting then you can generate
a csv (comma  seperated value) file pretty easily.  On windows csv's
are even associated with excel so all you have to do is double click
on it.  Otherwise you may look into KSpread from the KOffice suite.  I
believe they are using python as their scripting language.  I don't
know if the filters are in place yet though.
