[xlwt] Changing Cell Background Color

I've posted this on the python-excel group, but perhaps people here
know what to do.

How does one change the cell background color using the xlwt module?
I've looked at several tutorials but none show how to change the
background color. I've tried the following:

badBG = xlwt.Pattern()
badBG.SOLID_PAT TERN = 0x34
badBG.NO_PATTER N = 0x34
badBG.pattern_f ore_colour = 0x34
badBG.pattern_b ack_colour = 0x34

badFontStyle = xlwt.XFStyle()
badFontStyle.Pa ttern = badBG

sheet1.write(1, 1,'hello world', badFontStyle)

However, the background cell color still remains white. Any help
appreciated.

I'm the webmaster for a recreational organization. As part of one page of the site, I have an HTML "Calendar at a Glance" of the organization's events for the month.

Hi, I wrote the program below to merge all xls files in a given directory into one multisheet xls file. It uses xlwt and xlrd. The xls files I use for input are generated by Spss. When I open and re-save the files in Excel, the program works, but when I use the xls files as they were created by Spss, the program returns an error message (see below). Some details: Python 2.4, xlwt version 0.7.0, xlrd version 0.5.2, Win NT. Any ideas? ...

Hi John, Thanks! Using a higher xlrd version did the trick! Regarding your other remarks: -yep, input files with multiple sheets don't work yet. I kinda repressed that ;-) Spss outputs only single-sheet xls files, but I agree it's nicer if the programs works in other cases too. -and no, I don't intend to use data fields. Wouldn't it be easier to convert those to string values if I ever came across them? Thanks again! Albert-Jan

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
