Hi,

Octave can be used from Python using Pytave
(https://launchpad.net/pytave). If it's possible to script Excel in
Python (it's possible with OpenOffice Calc), this should be a way to
do it. Ruby also has bindings to Octave. I'm not aware of Mono/.NET
bindings, but I would estimate it as a project of similar size to
Pytave (a few thousand lines of code).
regards
