We use the csv module a lot. I've also investigated the old DIF and SLK formats for slightly more functoinality. But the coming standards-based world, if you need more than csv, start writing to to the OpenOffice.org formats, either with your own code or via PyUNO. Then use OOo itself or a MS-sponsored ODF reader to translate to Excel format. This should be a maintainable approach over time (but a lot more complex than just csv). -- Harry George PLM Engineering Architecture -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
