Thanks a lot, but I don't use, promote or recommend proprietory standards, so Open office is what I am looking for integrating
Don't be a muppet. "Excel" often refers to the file format, which is read and written by all sorts of software, not just evil empire stuff...
But I read that zope has some kind of restricted python. So will odfpy integrate?
As Andreas has pointed out, you should do a bit more research before making silly comments like this ;-)
Further more, I would like to create my application as a self containing package like the plone installer which also installs python, zope and other dependencies.
That's got nothing to do with any of this...
Or for that matter any library. May be I am asking this because I am very new to all this,
I would use the Excel file format and generate the files with: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlwt If you need to parse excel files after they are uploaded to extract their data, I'd do so with this: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlrd Help on both of these libraries can be obtained here: http://groups.google.com.au/group/python-excel cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
