I've pushed an initial version of this to master. You will have to use the Python vba_extract utility (installed with xlsxwriter) for now.

Here is an example:

#include "xlsxwriter.h"

int main() {

    lxw_workbook  *workbook  = new_workbook("test_macro01.xlsm");
    lxw_worksheet *worksheet = workbook_add_worksheet(workbook, NULL);

    workbook_add_vba_project(workbook, "vbaProject01.bin");

    worksheet_write_number(worksheet, CELL("A1"), 123 , NULL);

    return workbook_close(workbook);
}
