Thank you! The distribution contains an example that does exactly what I
want (with minor changes). I report here a snippet just for future
reference:



import pyXLWriter as xl

workbook = xl.Writer(xlsfilename)
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()


nrow = 0
for chunk in file(textfile).read().split("\n====\n"):
    row = chunk.split('\n\n') # Split on empty line
    for ncol, cell in enumerate(row):
        worksheet.write([nrow, ncol], cell.strip())
    nrow += 1

workbook.close() # needed
