In the thread of this mailing list named "Perl scripts" I explained, that
I would like to use the Perl module Spreadsheet::WriteExcel which outputs
real xls files.  I'm not really sure that it would work as plaed via
calling Excel directly from the script, but after saving the obtained file
the user would have a file which are perfectly viewable with Excel (and
Gnumeric).

I would love if someone would port this Perl module to Python, thought.

Kind regards
