A puzzlement:

I used easy_install the other day to get xlutils on my system.  It
automatically installed xlrd and xlwt as well.  This is cool.  What's not so
cool are my tracebacks.  E.g.

Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Dec 23 2008, 15:10:54) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]
on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
--> import xlwt
--> xlwt.__name__
'xlwt'
--> xlwt.__file__
'C:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages\\xlwt-0.7.2-py2.5-win32.egg\\xlwt\\__init__.pyc'
--> xlwt.Workbook().save('non-file')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File

IndexError: list index out of range

Anyone know why that is?

You can't save a workbook with no worksheets.
Try:
W = xlwt.Workbook()
W.add_sheet('no-sheet')
W.save('non-file')

Yes, I know. I was showing the irritating (at least to me) traceback message.

But thanks for trying!  :D
