Hey all,
I need to read text file from remote server and generate excel file from
local computer using python. Is it possible? If so how?
Possibly. Do you have access to the server? If so, you have to download
the file using whatever protocol the server supports: http, https, ftp,
gopher, something else.
Once you have copied the file, you can read the file and write it to a
CSV file using the csv module. Excel can read CSV files. If you need an
actual .xls file, this is a secret, proprietary format. There are some
projects that have tried to reverse-engineer the format, like the xlrd
package. Google for "excel python" and you will find about 13 million hits.
