Notes on creating a Dash docset for openpyxl

Notes on creating a Dash docset for openpyxl

  • Dash is a documentation reader for MacOS
  • openpyxl is a python library for working with XLSX files

openpyxl has pretty good docs prepared using sphinx, though they can be hard to navigate.

Using Dash makes that easier for me, so here's how to create a Dash docset for openpyxl, using the doc2dash tool; by default this will install it directly into Dash, but see doc2dash's documentation for more options.

An attrs extension giving fields more control over how they're rendered in an autogenerated __repr__
def attrs_flexible_repr(cls):
"""
An [attrs](http://www.attrs.org/) extension giving attributes more
flexibility about how they appear in the autogenerated `__repr__`.
Out of the box, attrs gives your class a pretty decent `__repr__` method;
you can disable this at the class level to define your own, or you can
keep it but exclude attributes by setting their `repr` field to False.

Excel macro to easily import a CSV as all text

Importing CSV into Excel as text

Importing a CSV into Excel is annoying, because by default it will try to interpret the columns, and it often/usually gets it wrong. You can control what format is used for each column when you import a CSV file, but it's fiddly, and for many purposes we'd just like to load a CSV and have every column to be read in as uninterpreted text, without having to faff with the import wizard.

Good news: we can do that with a macro. Here it is:

Sub importCSV()

    Dim column_types() As Variant
