PANDAS：成功执行to_excel，但没有输出文件

Question

When I use to_excel to generate excel file, no error occurred , but no output file available. can't find anything,any file in my supposed location... And I don't know why..

import pandas as pd
import os
import xlrd
import openpyxl
pd.set_option('display.width',None)
DIR = 'E:\Process'
datapath =os.path.join(DIR, 'Data.xlsx')
formatpath = os.path.join(DIR, 'Format.xlsx')
df = pd.read_excel(datapath)
df1=pd.read_excel(formatpath)
for i in range(0, len(df)):
    target = (df.iloc[i,17])
    df2 = df1
    df2.iat[3,3] = target
    print(df2)
    filename = df.iloc[i,2]
    filename = str(filename) + ".xlsx"
    sourcepath = os.path.join(DIR, filename)
    writer = pd.ExcelWriter(sourcepath)
    df2.to_excel(writer)
    print(sourcepath)

Answer 1

Expanding on the comment:

Use writer.save() after calling to_excel .

Alternatively you can use the with statement as suggested in the docs: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.ExcelWriter.html

Answer 2

When I'm trying to re-run this code on my local machine, I'm running into an error with setting DIR to 'E:\\Process' because of the escaping of "\\" for windows machines. Have you tried "E:\\\\Process" ? or try it as a raw string literal r'E:\\Process' ?
