Hi, I am using xlwt 0.7.2 and Python 2.6. I come across a situation wherein one of the "rows" of the excel sheet created was being overwritten. And it was flagging the following error.
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/xlwt/Row.py", line 150, in insert_cell raise Exception(msg) Exception: Attempt to overwrite cell *Action Taken:* I commented out the "raise Exception" statement in Row.py library module. Here's the (line no. 150 ) of Row.py which i have edited: def insert_cell(self, col_index, cell_obj): if col_index in self.__cells: if not self.__parent._cell_overwrite_ok: msg = "Attempt to overwrite cell: sheetname=%r rowx=%d colx=%d" \ % (self.__parent.name, self.__idx, col_index) *#raise Exception(msg) #########*commented to avoid error. * prev_cell_obj = self.__cells[col_index] sst_idx = getattr(prev_cell_obj, 'sst_idx', None) if sst_idx is not None: self.__parent_wb.del_str(sst_idx) self.__cells[col_index] = cell_obj The excel sheet creation code now works fine. *My question is, Instead of manually goin to /usr/lib/.../row.py and commenting out the line, Can this be done through few lines of code in my program itself. ??* As in if I use my program on different system, then again I have to comment out that line in row.py..!! Any suggestions?? Thanks, Nikunj Bangalore, India _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
