Hi Aurelio - Thanks for this I appreciate it, gave me a starting point
which I needed ! Just for other W32/Python people reading this the W32
style .EXE doesn't contain as much example material as the downloads
so it's worth using the .EXE to install the package but then taking a
peek inside the one of the others at the example directory. I used
Aurelio's code and then extended it based upon what I read in the
examples. An unexpected plus is that the XML files produced are able
to be read by Excel97 whereas I was assuming it was Excel2000 and
upwards.

Thanks again Aurelio.
