xlrd ; xlwt ; xlutils ; get_sheet

2009-12-10T14:10:39Z

Hello, I’m using xlrd, xlwt, xlutils and I wrote this code :

import xlrd

import xlwt

import xlutils

import copy

read_excelfile=xlrd.open_workb ook(‘myfile.xls',formatting_in fo=True)

write_excelfile=copy(read_exce lfile)

controlsheet=write_excelfile.g et_sheet(0)

Python tells me « ‘numpy.ndarray’ object has no attribute ‘get_sheet’

xlrd porting effort to Python 3.x

2009-12-07T19:05:52Z

Hi everybody,

After a scan of the messages in this group, it seems there is nothing
about Py3k.

My focus is only at xlrd module. I've hacked around it and it helps me
great to manipulate excel file without the Suite of - you know who
- ;)

I first use the 2to3 program to automagically correct basic syntax

Writing to Excel in Python 2.2

2009-12-02T20:20:35Z

Hi all,

I’m relatively new to python. I’m using a process simulation package
which is stuck in the past unfortunately – it would not support any
version older than python 2.2. This fairly frustrating as you can
imagine.

This means I cannot use pyExcelerator or xlwt to create spreadsheets

Different colors in same cell

2009-12-02T20:03:37Z

Hello All,
I would like to know is there any way to put a text to a cell with
different colours?
For example (as html):
<font style="color: red;">This is the lead part</font> <font
style="color: black;">of full text</font>
In other way: which "object" has color in XLS: the text or a cell?
Thank you:

Public code repository?

2009-12-02T14:16:21Z

Is there a public revision control repository where the latest and
greatest source code can be downloaded? I'd like to try out xlsxrd,
but couldn't find a git, mercurial, or subversion repo from which to
download it.

Excel 2007 and dates

2009-11-23T20:25:11Z

I've got a bunch of Excel 2007 spreadsheets that I need to parse. As
far as I can tell from searching around, there is no release of xlrd
that will do this yet. (Although I'd be quite willing to use a
development branch, if someone is working on it and willing to share.
I could not find a code repository either.)

Re: merging sheets

2009-11-20T08:20:44Z

See xlutils.copy and/or xlutils.filter. Both are covered in the tutorial.
As I've said several times now, for xlutils.filter to grow this ability
would require a lot of work that would need funding.
cheers,

IRTDInterface differences in Excel 2003 and Excel 2007

2009-11-16T15:53:42Z

I am working with the RTD functions in excel using pythoncom and a
some great sample code from Chris Nilsson. In Excel 2003 and 2007, I
am able to create my python object via the IRTDServer com interface.
Excel then passes a callback interface, IRTDServerEvents to my
object. I hold on to that interface and callback using UpdateNotify

Vote on PyPI comments

2009-11-13T15:39:19Z

Hi All,
Apologies for the cross post, but I'm not sure this has received the
publicity it deserves...
PyPI grew a commenting and rating system a while back, apparently in
response to requests from users. However, since it's been rolled out,
there's been a backlash from package maintainers who already have
