Thomas,
Look at pyExcelerator's tools/xls2*.py for examples
or
Look at the xlrd package (which doesn't *write* xls files, but does read 
them tolerably well -- even if I do say so myself -- and has documentation).
http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/xlrd

What do you mean by "with a variable number of rows and columns"?

Cheers,
John
