hi all, 
 
thanks for this sharing. when i copy and run this code, i got this error:
 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Python25/myscript/excel/sampleexcel.py", line 1, in <module>
    import csv
  File "C:/Python25/myscript/excel\csv.py", line 3, in <module>
    w=csv.writer(open('output.csv','w'))
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'writer'



Well, reading the error message, it's saying that module "csv", coming from file "C:/Python25/myscript/excel\
csv.py" has no member "writer".  So, it seems you've called your test script (module) "csv" which effecitvely hid the standard python "csv" module.  

Try renaming your script file to something else ('testcsv.py' maybe) so its name doesn't conflict with the standard "csv" module and try again.
