Python XLWT attempt to overwrite cell workaround

Question

Using the python module xlwt, writing to the same cell twice throws an error:

Message File Name   Line    Position    
Traceback               
    

        

Answer 1

You should get in touch with the author of the module. Simply removing a raise is unlikely to work well. I would guess that it would lead to other problems further down the line. For example, later code may assume that any given cell is only in the intermediate representation once.
