如何使用 Python 将 Excel 工作表写入制表符分隔的 .txt 文件

Question

I've got a program that's converting files from an Excel spreadsheet into a csv. However, I just realized that for one of the other things I'm working on, I need them to be tab separated .txt files. How can I either convert what it's kicking out, or change it to do tab separated instead?

import openpyxl
import csv

wb = openpyxl.load_workbook('S:\\Digitization\\Metadata\\MS038_Civitan.xlsx', data_only = True)
sh1 = wb["MODS"]
with open('S:\\Digitization\\Metadata\\tools\\CSVs\\MODS.csv', 'wb') as f:
    c = csv.writer(f)
    for r in sh1.rows:
        out_val_list = list()
        for cell in r:
            out_val = cell.value
            if out_val == 0:
                out_val = ""
            out_val_list.append(out_val)
        c.writerow(out_val_list)

You can choose your delimiter like this

csv.writer(f, delimiter='\\t')
