I am attempting to use a basic example of xlwings. I have the following VBA script:


Sub Test()
RunPython ("import VBAtester; VBAtester.test()")
MsgBox ("Script has run.")
End Sub


Which is in the same directory as the python script VBAtester.py:


import xlwings as xw


def test():
wb = xw.Book.caller()
wb.sheets[0].range('A1').value = 'TEST VALUE'


The VBA script runs and outputs the message box; but *'TEST VALUE'* does not show in cell A1, or elsewhere. I know the python script is being called as if I purposefully put errors in my python script VBA will callback these errors when I run the VBA script that calls the python script.


From the documentation, http://docs.xlwings.org/en/stable/quickstart.html, I do not see my error.


What is the error in my understanding or my approach?
