Embedding a chart in excel

I'm having trouble scripting Excel to embed a chart from python.

Say I have created a sheet object and a workbook object, "xlSheet" and
"xlBook".

Creating a chart in front of my sheet is as easy as:

xlSheet.Select()
xlChart = xlBook.Charts.Add()

Now how do I tell it to go embed itself in my sheet? In VBA, it might be
something like:

xlChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:=xlSheet.Name

Thanks.

(Is there a newsgroup/list with more of a focus on issues like this than
c.l.py?)

There seems to be a problem with UseExcel.setcell:

>>> a.setcell(sht1.Name,1,(1,1))

Traceback (most recent call last):
