Python write to spreadsheet?

[Justin Thyme]

Is it possible to write a Python program that will start MS Excel, 
create a spreadsheet and fill cells A1 to A10 (say) with the data in a 
Python array?  The answer is surely yes, but is there an outline of how 
to do it somewhere?

Shall we only threaten and be angry for an hour?
   When the storm is ended shall we find
How softly but how swiftly they have sidled back to power
   By the favour and contrivance of their kind?
