What is the difference between Openpyxl and xlwt?

I've recently had to come across an old script that I have been told to change from the module xlwt to Openpyxl.

The application is not exactly mine to work on, but the script I have to work on has no errors and runs fine. So far I have gone through the script and made a few small changes to try and make the code compatible with openpyxl. So, my question is this, what is the difference between these two libraries? I've read through the docs and googled around but everything I find comes up with the same answers over and over. I'm sure I just don't understand something fundamental about the libraries.

Both openpyxl and xlwt are modules designed for creating and working with Excel spreadsheets. As @daniel points out in the comments, openpyxl uses a newer version of Excel than xlwt. Because of the way it connects to Excel, openpyxl can also be used to convert .ods files to .xlsx as well as the other ways that xlwt does.

Xlwt provides many more functions in addition to the basic ones provided by openpyxl. These include formulas, charts, formulas in charts, formula validation, formulas with error trapping (for error trapping, see openpyxl's exception handling), and many other features. For more info, you could check out the documentation or post here if you have questions specific to xlwt.

What are the requirements for xlwt?

How to get started?

Can I download and use the source and compile it myself, or do I need a full license? Xlwt is available in both source code and binary form for the Python interpreter. It is available on Unix, Windows, and Mac OS X. The license of the sources are given in Appendix A and includes any third party materials such as pictures, figures, animation gifs, sound effects, and music etc.

When I search for xlwt using Google, one question that pops up is if it is an Apache Open Office project, and the answer seems to be no. The only link from the internet to the xlwt page does not seem to work anymore. Does anyone have any ideas about the current status of xlwt? I know there was an email, but I never got it, would be nice to know a little more about it. Any suggestions, hints, directions, what questions to ask, etc. Are very welcome.

Jordi.e. Thanks for the reply Jordan. I got it with gmail from Some links in that website don't seem to work, so maybe its better just to use google: Thanks for answering! Yes, it was the best way to find out who I really am :-). And now I really enjoy doing math. I was actually curious, for myself, how you found out who I really am. Could you say that you used some sort of a magic method that I could use to find out some data about who I am, too? :) If you do happen to know it, what was that magical "thing" that took us straight to my real username without me needing to input any information? In this particular case, that "thing" is a website called www.piwik.org, I used it a couple of weeks ago, at that time, it did not find me in a list of registered visitors, until I made the correct click on the login page. After that, it showed a number of visitors the site had ever had. There's some kind of a script that registers the visits, and it tells a little about each of those visitors (or they were actually registered).

Well, thanks again! I can't wait for it to be released.

What is the use of xlwt in Python?

This is a discussion on ?

Within the Python Programming forums, part of the General Programming Boards category; Hi Guys. So this would be my first post to any boards. I got an xlwt problem. And as I .

So this would be my first post to any boards. And as I checked out the xlwt, it seems fairly straight forward. But what do we actually want to achieve?

I had written a program to create .xls worksheets for a list of names which I get from a list and I wanted to put them all in one workbook. This seemed like a good option as compared to adding each name to its own worksheet.

However, I noticed something strange: when I just wanted to place all these names in one sheet the program worked fine, but when I wanted to create a worksheet based on my own formula, that's when the problem started to show itself. For example, I have the following formula: Now, when the program creates the worksheet the number of column A is always the same, even if there are more names in the list. So the question is how do I force it to be created with a formula based on the number of names? And here is a sample piece of code: Code: # Define file name for creating the first worksheet. Filename = str(rawinput('Enter the file name for first worksheet.')) # Add blank worksheet at the end. Sheet1 = xlwt.Sheet() # Create header for the worksheet. Header = xlwt.Header() # Use for loop to enter header data (First row). For in range(1,10): header.write(i, 0, title, font=colors.BLUEBOLD)
# Write first row of data, starting from A1. Sheet1.write(0, listnames, font=colors.BLUEBOLD)
# Close the sheet

What is the difference between xlwt and xlrd?

Parsing the Excel file in python is as simple as: import xlwt.

workbook = xlwt.Workbook('test.xlsx')
Worksheet = workbook.addsheet('Sheet1') for row in ws. I am wondering if I am missing something as I don't think xlrd has cell merging options and xlwt does? I found a difference between what they both say they can do and the output they give but it isn't clear to me what the difference is. Xlrd: xlwt: As I want to merge cells when I import I am thinking about using xlwt. When I use xlrd I get the following: xlrdoutput: Both work really well but the output is different and I think I can't do a merge with xlwt. There is quite a bit of documentation for xlrd but I can't really get my head around it. I know that the following is valid xlrd code but I don't really know how to turn that into python code.xls")
Sheet = workbook.sheetbyindex(0) cellA1 = sheet.cellvalue(0,0) print cellA1. What I'm really looking for is documentation for the xlwt library. Can someone explain it so that I can make a comparison.
