I am a beginner at all this and never expected to reach a point where<br>
people other than myself may have to have access to the output of one<br>
of my programs. My problem is this - I have written a program that<br>
uses xlrd to read a series of xls files and collate and summarize the<br>
data. My original plan was to then write out that data into another<br>
xlwt spreadsheet that could be updated on a regular basis. I was<br>
thinking of adding a page per month as the data is updated regularly.<br>
<br>
The problem is that xlwt doesn't allow for very convenient addition of<br>
data to a spreadsheet - basically it has to re-create the whole<br>
spreadsheet each time.<br>
<br>
So now I am looking for suggestions of how I can output my data<br>
analysis. I am running Linux but the data needs to be able to be seen<br>
by users of OSX and Windows. I have been reading about GTK and figure<br>
I could output the analysis using that but am not sure it will be<br>
readable under Mac and Windows. Any ideas are welcome!<br>

</blockquote></div><br>I would write my output using csv (comma separated value) format (for which there are python tools). Put these files on a webserver, and create a webpage that you update with links to the csv files. If you don't have security concerns (eg an internal webserver) you could just put them in a directory and not create index.html file so that the listing of csv files would show<br>
