I made a minimalist program to show it:
    #!/usr/bin/env python3


    from openpyxl     import Workbook


    with Workbook() as wb_out:
        print('In loop')
    print('After loop')

This results in:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "./test.py", line 7, in <module>
        with Workbook() as wb_out:
    AttributeError: __exit__

That seems to work. I changed it to:
    #!/usr/bin/env python3


    from contextlib   import closing
    from datetime     import datetime
    from openpyxl     import Workbook


    with closing(Workbook()) as wb_out:
        print('In loop')
        wb_out.save('testing_' + datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d') + '.xlsx')
    print('After loop')

And I see:
    In loop
    After loop

And a testing Excel file.

Thanks.
