The answer will depend on your base os.. if you are on windows there
will be some options using the COM interfaces I bet.. but I don't know
anything about them.

If you are on a unix based os, your choices are limited.  If you can,
I would just write to a csv file and open it with Excel.  If you have
to interface with an exsisting excel file, you can try
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlrd , but it may not support writing xls
files, still.
