[Tutor] saving .csv file as an xl worksheet

Hello,

.xls is a proprietary format used by Microsoft office, and unless you 
have the specs for that format and are willing to implement them (very 
very hard) it would not make much sense.

If you absolutely need that, then maybe a macro in VBA from Excel itself 
may be a better option.

----
Changing the file extension only (just the filename, not the contents of 
the file) can be done using the shutil module in Python (high level file 
manipulation)
