Question

I am trying to write a list into a cell using Python XLWT. Is this possible?

I am currently getting an error:

Exception: Unexpected data type <type 'list'>

The code:

    for x in result:
        sheet1.write(row2,0,x[0])
        sheet1.write(row2,1,x[1])

x[1] will be a list.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Try converting it to a string first:

for x in result:
    sheet1.write(row2,0,str(x[0]))
    sheet1.write(row2,1,str(x[1]))
