Python xlwt - accessing existing cell content, auto-adjust column width

Question

I am trying to create an Excel workbook where I can auto-set, or auto-adjust the widths of the columns before saving the workbook.

I have been reading the Python-Ex

Answer 1

i use this method:

wb = Workbook()
ws = wb.add_sheet('Sheet1')
columnwidth = {}
row = 0
for rowdata in data:
    column = 0
    for colomndata in rowdata:
        if column in columnwidth:
            if len(colomndata) > columnwidth[column]:
                columnwidth[column] = len(colomndata)
        else:
            columnwidth[column] = len(colomndata)
        ws.write(row, column, colomndata, style0)
        column = column + 1
    row = row + 1
for column, widthvalue in columnwidth.items():
    ws.col(column).width = (widthvalue + 4) * 367
