Opening the Excel application from Python

问题

I am using 'xlwt' to write into Excel files as part of my project in Python. I also need to actually open the Excel spreadsheet for display and also close it. I found a function:

import webbrowser
webbrowser.open('C:/Users/300231823/Desktop/GUI/simplenew4.xls')

This seems to open the .xls file. How do I close the file?

I am completely new to programming, and I started using Python 3 weeks ago.

回答1:

from win32com.client import Dispatch

xl = Dispatch("Excel.Application")
xl.Visible = True # otherwise excel is hidden

# newest excel does not accept forward slash in path
wb = xl.Workbooks.Open(r'C:\Users\300231823\Desktop\GUI\simplenew4.xls')
wb.Close()
xl.Quit()

The win32com module is part of pywin32.

Alternatively you can also use XLWings:

>>> app = xw.App()  # or something like xw.apps[0] for existing apps
>>> app.books['Book1']
