Pyinex is a project that I've been working on to embed Python in Excel. This isn't IronPython - this is the "standard" C reference implementation, in which you can run a wide range of third-party libraries (in particular, NumPy).
* Binaries, examples, and docs are available in a single archive (Pyinex-0.82.zip) at:
http://code.google.com/p/pyinex/
* This is the second release. It now works properly with Excel 2002 and 2007 (and probably 2003), and with Python 2.5, 2.6, and 3.1.
* The main complication with this release was getting Unicode to work properly - you should now be able to work with wide characters, though the details are somewhat involved because of the historical evolution of Excel's and Python's handling of the problem. For most users, with most typical uses, there will be no impact - see the docs for details.
* There's nothing to compile; just download it and install it like any other Excel addin.
* Please download it, play with it, and let me know if it works for you.

P.S. I'm still vaguely waffling about whether to release the source; I'm likely to do so, but want to mull it over a bit more.
P.P.S. Thanks to the folks who put out the fine XLW package - it was a tremendous time-saver.
