Formatting cells in Excel with Python

Question

How do I format cells in Excel with python? In particular I need to change the font of several subsequent rows to be regular instead of bold.

Accepted Answer

Using xlwt:

```
from xlwt import *

font0 = Font()
font0.bold = False

style0 = XFStyle()
style0.font = font0

wb = Workbook()
ws0 = wb.add_sheet('0')

ws0.write(0, 0, 'myNormalText', style0)

font1 = Font()
font1.bold = True

style1 = XFStyle()
style1.font = font1

ws0.write(0, 1, 'myBoldText', style1)

wb.save('format.xls')
```
