I've been using the win32com module with very good success in placing data onto an Excel spreadsheet. However, whenever I have an error in my script (like mapping a non-square array onto the spreadsheet), something breaks. After fixing my error and restart the Python program again, Excel would start up a window with a "Microsoft Excel - BookX" where X is a increasing number (1,2,3,4,....) instead of just 1. Then, the spreadsheet portion of the screen is hidden - I can only see the menu bars (on top).
If I restart the computer, run the Python script again and Excel would behave fine and it would start with "Microsoft Excel - Book1" everytime. My guess is that there is a zombie Excel process that got stuck in the system. However I couldn't tell for sure by looking at the Process Manager list. Any idea how I can prevent this?
