pyXLWriter -- http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyXLWriter ...stopped active development back in Aug 2004. it was "replaced" by... pyExcelerator -- http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyExcelerator ...which has also stopped development (last release was Aug 2005). now ppl use... xlwt -- http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlwt ... which appears to be actively maintained and developed. xlrd and xlrt do not require a win32 box, i.e., you can use *ix/MacOS to read/write .xls files. if you are an active win32 developer, you may wish to consider Python's Extensions for Windows to control/manipulate Excel directly -- http://pywin32.sf.net -- FWIW, there is some info on how to do this in Chapter 23 of "Core Python Programming". hope this helps! -wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2007,2001 "Python Fundamentals", Prentice Hall, (c)2009 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: wescpy-at-gmail.com python training and technical consulting cyberweb.consulting : silicon valley, ca http://cyberwebconsulting.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
