Before you go too far down this road (and congratulations, by the way,
on having achieved what you already have!) you might like to consider
the xlrd, xlwt and xlutils modules.

Not only are they easy to use, they are also (I believe) cross-platform
and do not require Excel to be loaded on the machine running the programs.
