Python convert csv to xlsx

Question

In this post there is a Python example to convert from csv to xls.

However, my file has more than 65536 rows so xls does not work. If I name the file xlsx it doesnt make a difference. Is there a Python package to convert to xlsx?

Answer 1

Here's an example using xlsxwriter:

import os import glob import csv from xlsxwriter.workbook import Workbook   for csvfile in glob.glob(os.path.join('.', '*.csv')):     workbook = Workbook(csvfile[:-4] + '.xlsx')     worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()     with open(csvfile, 'rt', encoding='utf8') as f:         reader = csv.reader(f)         for r, row in enumerate(reader):             for c, col in enumerate(row):                 worksheet.write(r, c, col)     workbook.close() 

FYI, there is also a package called openpyxl, that can read/write Excel 2007 xlsx/xlsm files.

Hope that helps.
