Excel file format

[Pim van der Eijk]

Excel file format is documented on the Microsoft MSDN site,  in the past you
did have to register (free) to be able to download it.  Note that it is a
very complex file format,  very hard to generate it from scratch if you
cannot use the Microsoft COM objects.  Perhaps you could do some kind of RPC
to a Windows machine to do this for you and send the results back to you?

Hello,

I want to transform data into Excel files using Python, not just data but
also
workbooks, etc.. Is there any module facilitating this?

On a Windows-machine I would simply use Excel's COM
interface to do this, but I'm on unix.

Is the Excel file format documented somewhere?
