[python-win32] Executing eval function in VBscript

[Janakiraman Mohanakrishnan]

yes i want to have python functionality in excel,
iam trying to call python functions from VBscript,
more like evaluating a python expression say dictionary or list in 
VBscript
For evaluating a python expression , python has some library functions 
like eval which takes python expressions
 in string format and checks whether it is a valid python expression or 
not

so i thought of calling that python eval function in VBscript and validate 
my datas
but the problem is when i tried to pass dictionaries for eg, 
"{'key':value}" this is the format of dictionary in python
VBscript throws error like type mismatch
since VB dictionary representation of VB and python are different

Thanks and Regards!

I think he wants to have python functionality from excel, which is
what I'd like to accomplish as well.
(Python embedded into excel, as opposed to launching Excel from Python)

Everything you want to know about the MSScriptControl is on microsoft's 
site.
