Question

I am currently writing a script where I want to take the data and write it to a spreadsheet. I’ve found a few modules for writing xls files, however those only seem to work up to python 2.x, and I’m using 3.2 (also on a mac if that’s helpful). Anyone have any ideas on how to get a python3.2 script to output to a spreadsheet?

Answer 1

Use the csv module. The intro from the docs:

The csv module implements classes to read and write tabular data in
CSV format. It allows programmers to say, “write this data in the
format preferred by Excel,” or “read data from this file which was
generated by Excel,” without knowing the precise details of the CSV
format used by Excel. Programmers can also describe the CSV formats
understood by other applications or define their own special-purpose
CSV formats.
