Formatting Excel cells with PythonCOM

[Mark Hammond]

This code is from the win32com test suite (in testMSOffice.py)

 # test dates out with Excel
 xl.Cells(5,1).Value = "Excel time"
 xl.Cells(5,2).Formula = "=Now()"

 import time
 xl.Cells(6,1).Value = "Python time"
 xl.Cells(6,2).Value = pythoncom.MakeTime(time.time())
 xl.Cells(6,2).NumberFormat = "d/mm/yy h:mm"
 xl.Columns("A:B").EntireColumn.AutoFit()
