python - xlwt write excel sheet on the fly -

I used to create spreadsheets in the following way:

  wbk = xlwt . Taskbar () Earnings_tab = wbk.add_sheet ('Earnings') wbk.save (filepath)   
 There is no way to save the file in the file path, and instead of writing it to the file What is the best way for a downloading user? Or do I need to save it as a TMP file and then the user has to serve it?   
 
 
 quote:  
 
 This is a stream object with a writing method Also, as in  StringIO , Excel data is written in the data stream   
 Modified example:  
 < Code> import StringIO f = StringIO.StringIO () # Create an object like a file wbk = xlwt.Workbook () earnings_tab = wbk .add_sheet ('Earnings') wbk.save (f) # write stdout   
 Some suggestions might be given that  StringIO  instead of  cStringIO , but in the former Please note that  cStringIO  when I last checked that Unicode is not properly handled  
 It is also worth noting that  StringIO  has been changed to  io  in Python 3.
