I just finished a basic Python script for a client that I’d like to share with you. He needed an easy means of moving data back and forth between MySQL and Excel, and sometimes he needed to do a bit of manipulation between along the way. In the past I may have relied solely on VBA for this, but I have found it to be much easier with Python. In this post and the accompanying video, I show just part of the project - importing data from Excel into MySQL via Python. Let’s get started.
