You can do it, it's just an awkward API.. but anyway, using a Java library to do it is much nicer, faster, cheaper, and more portable (anywhere with a JRE installed). Conveniently, the jar is also a CLI app that can just convert to CSV and XML without even having to look at any Java code, so it's really quite ideal. I haven't had any issues with it, and unlike the Perl equivalent (Spreadsheet::Excel or something), it deals with Unicode correctly. -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
