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.

I will post on that group too. Thanks for the quick response.

Here is the full error: I thought it might have something to do with the
multi-threaded calcs in 2007, so I turned them off, but to no avail.

What is the "obscure COM error", and what do you get when you google the
error number and/or error text?
Suggestion: ask on the pywin32 mailing list if you haven't already.

IRTDInterface differences in Excel 2003 and Excel 2007

cowd...@gmail.com (Jack) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:53:42 UT

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

Hi Xinhui, welcome to the group.
Have you tried something like
grep grid Work*.py
?
Cheers,
John

how could I disable gridline display

xinhui.t...@gmail.com (Xinhui) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:53:58 UT

This option in Excel is at "Tools -> Options -> View -> Gridlines(as a
checkbox)".

How could I disable it in xlwt?

Thanks for sharing your experience with me!

You think incorrectly. It's a brave, noble, heroic effort. But
misdirected IMHO. "C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre."
Not at all. I do regret that people don't search for previous discussion.
Or Python using pyuno to drive OpenOffice ...

I think John Machin probably hates that I've done this, and hates more
that I mention it when people ask, but I've gathered approximate
widths for common characters in Arial 10 (most people's default Excel
font) and provided it in the arial10.py file in the files section of
this group, so you can build your own autofit routines. (I included a

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

Many thanks John.

I looked for keyword "zoom" in this google group, and actually, I
managed to put some zoom in my file, for all worksheets!

I used :
wb = Workbook(encoding="utf-8")
ws = wb.add_sheet(mySheetName)
ws.normal_magn=85

to obtain a 85% zoom in my worksheet.

Note that, for some reason, I don't have the file

No. The autofit is not an option which can be set in the file so that an
autofit is done when the file is opened. Doing that requires a UI

Hey everyone,

I'm new here. I'm new in Python, and I'm new in xlwt.
I'm using Python 2.5 on a windows OS (XP) for work. I'm using xlwt
0.7.2.

I looked in the source code but found nothing related to my questions,
and also in the examples. So I'm asking here.

Q1:
I want to create a Excel file. I manage to do it, but I'd like to

I'll probably change it a little, but only to provide more information
before re-raising the exception.
The bits that boggle me are (1) putting a whole email message in one
cell in a spreadsheet (2) how come the users don't notice all the
pseudo-East-Asian gumpf at the end of the messages
Yep, the data can be cruddy even when an exception is not raised.
