pyXLWriter - simple example code ?

[Richard Shea]

Hi - Anyone out there who has a simple example using pyXLWriter
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyxlwriter/) they are willing to
share with the group ?

I'm interested in creating a .XLS which has multiple sheets within the
workbook but I'm having real trouble getting started, I can create a
Worksheet but can't figure out how to save it.

thanks

Hi Aurelio - Thanks for this I appreciate it, gave me a starting point
which I needed ! Just for other W32/Python people reading this the W32
style .EXE doesn't contain as much example material as the downloads
so it's worth using the .EXE to install the package but then taking a
peek inside the one of the others at the example directory. I used
Aurelio's code and then extended it based upon what I read in the
examples. An unexpected plus is that the XML files produced are able
to be read by Excel97 whereas I was assuming it was Excel2000 and
upwards.

Thanks again Aurelio.

regards
