Issue is not the software, ut the standard.  Our policy is not just to
discourage proprietory software, but also closed standards.

never the less, I just got to know that odfpy would work with my
application.

Now I will try and look at the possibility of having the browser open
the odf spreadsheet or opening calc itself.

The documentation is a bit overvelming and donting, so there is a lot of
things to read before getting to what one actually wanted to know.

I come from the world of apache, php and pure python where I would not
face such problems.

But it's true that some research reveals the solution.

Yes, it is just one of those things I am worried about because I might
lavishly include all the modules I need and set my development
environment right, but I don't expect it from my customers who are not
eaven techi let alone being hackers.
So thwy will not take paines to do all the settings fromthe commandline.

Any ways things now seem to be perfectly all right with me.

thanks a million.

happy hacking.
