How to write multiple python lists into an excel file using xlwt package?

Question

I am reading a tab delimited text file into python list and now I want to have the list items into excel file. The snapshot of my text file is given below

BGIOSGA014473   0.955233    0.271947    3.5125704641    1.81252716688   Upregulated

i wanted it to be in this excel format

What I have tried is this

import xlwt
style0 = xlwt.easyxf('font: name Times New Roman, color-index red, bold on')
wb = xlwt.Workbook(encoding="utf-8")
ws = wb.add_sheet('test')

with open("out.txt") as outfile:
    for line in outfile:
        line=line.strip().split("\t")
        for i in range():
            for i,e in enumerate(line):
                ws.write(i,1,e)
wb.save('test.xls')

However, I am not getting it. I am missing how to change the row. Can anybody help

Answer 1

I would suggest using pandas for this. The code is as easy as

import pandas as pd

create a pandas dataframe using df = pd.DataFrame(dummy_for_data)

df.to_excel(path)

Answer 2

for your question:

1. your code do not update row index
2. ws.write() parameter is (row, col, val)
3. range() need a argument

Here is a working sample.

import xlwt
style0 = xlwt.easyxf('font: name Times New Roman, color-index red, bold on')
wb = xlwt.Workbook(encoding="utf-8")
ws = wb.add_sheet('test')

with open("data.txt") as outfile:
    row = 0
    for line in outfile:
        line = line.strip().split("\t")
        for col, val in enumerate(line):
            ws.write(row, col, val)
        row = row + 1

wb.save('data.xls')
