That is the latest released version (three years ago). There have been a few bug-fixes and enhancements since then (last change: 21 months ago); to access them you would need to get the source from the sourceforge svn repository. You may be interested in xlwt, a fork of pyExcelerator; see http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlwt ... also consider joining the python- excel discussion group at http://groups.google.com/group/python-excel > I already contacted the developer of pyExcelerator, [jaw drops] Ambiguity resolution please: do you mean the author (rvk) or the subsequent transient maintainer (gwashburn) or the recent apparition (dizzy_ghost)? > he says there is a zoom-option > in Worksheet.py, but it seems not to be there in my version. It's there, it's called normal_magn (normal view as opposed to page- break preview view, and "magn" being short for "magnification"). However it doesn't work. It could be made to work (in xlwt). Further discussion in the python-excel group if you are interested. Which UI would viewers of your files be using? Excel 2003 and Gnumeric 1.9.1 are OK, but OpenOffic.org Calc v2 has a problem: given a file hand-crafted using Excel 2003 with (say) 50% mag in first sheet and 200% mag in second sheet, it displays second sheet with 50% mag not 200%.
