Hi Bojan,
Many thanks for your feedback on the forum and your interest in future
developments.

I'm working on a small prototype of this and will report back here as
soon as there is something to share. If the approach proves viable
then all feedback and assistance would be welcome.

I think the Excel-Python interface looks interesting and could have
useful applications but it would not be my choice for the QuantLibXL
architecture. Excel's C API, while obscure, is mature and robust and
remains the fastest way to access Excel's internals.
Kind Regards,
