Known constraints

Fonts, colors and charts are not supported.

pyexcel-handsontable is a rendering plugin to pyexcel and renders pyexcel.Sheet and pyexcel.Book into a handsontable in your web page. As long as you have a browser, you could view the data. However, please note that this library does not aim to replace any current excel softwares, such as Micorsoft Office. But it aims to extends the capability of a Python user/developer in viewing plain data.

Main features:

1. transform your excel sheets into excel alike html file.

2. embed your excel sheets into your web page

Here is one liner to use it with pyexcel:

import pyexcel as p

p.save_as(file_name='your.xls', dest_file_name='your.handsontable.html')

Please remember to give this file suffix always: handsontable.html. It is because handsontable.html triggers this plugin in pyexcel.
