win32com from linux and jpq question

[Peder Ydalus]

1) Anyone knows if it will be possible to e.g. read cells in an excel
sheet from linux? If python compiled bytecode is cross-platform (I don't
know), maybe it could add the necessary bits and bytes from win32com?

2) I do not have PIL or other imaging libraries installed. Using plain
PhotoImage() and Label, is it possible to insert a jpg into an
application?

Thanks!

Yes: OpenOffice.

Or, of course, talk to a windows machine over the network and ask it
to do the work.
