I need to pull data out of Oracle and stuff it into an Excel
spreadsheet. What modules have you used to interface with Excel and
would you recommend it?

I just want to be and maybe I am not reading your response right. I am
talking about reading in bunch of rows out of Oracle and writing them
to an excel file, not using macros.

needed.

Why does there need to be OO "in the core"? That is one thing I have
never understood. If you want OO, get a package that fits your style of

Wow you are so wrong about Tk on OSX. Soon this is just not going to be
the case at all for any of the system Tcl/Tk runs on. The Tcl folks
have come out with a package called "Tile" that is going to be rolled
in. It gives you native L&F on OSX, Windows, Linux.

about anything you want to do with it.

Is it good practice to do something like:
try:
f1 = file('file1')
f2 = file('file2')
except:
# catch the exception
Or do you do a try/except for each open?

I would get "Core Python Programming" by Wesley Chun. It covers just
about everything under the sun and includes version 2.5.

Maybe because Tkinter comes *with* Python? It is sometimes easier to
understand the way things work in Tkinter vs wxPython as well. Though I
will add that Manning has just published "wxPython in Action" so that
should help newbies out as well.
