I've posted this on the python-excel group, but perhaps people here know what to do.
How does one change the cell background color using the xlwt module? I've looked at several tutorials but none show how to change the background color. I've tried the following: badBG = xlwt.Pattern() badBG.SOLID_PATTERN = 0x34 badBG.NO_PATTERN = 0x34 badBG.pattern_fore_colour = 0x34 badBG.pattern_back_colour = 0x34 badFontStyle = xlwt.XFStyle() badFontStyle.Pattern = badBG sheet1.write(1,1,'hello world', badFontStyle) However, the background cell color still remains white. Any help appreciated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
