What I'm trying to do is basically to write a new excel file from the data that I get from a list. The contents of the list is the row contents that I'm trying to write in the new excel file using the xlsxwriter (specifically xlsx because I'm using xlsx). Assuming that I have the code snippet below, it yields me the error :
TypeError: 'Cell' object is not iterable
The whole stacktrace points this out during the write event.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Desktop/excel-copy.py", line 33, in
sheet.write_row(row_index, col_index, cell_value)

for token in data:
TypeError: 'Cell' object is not iterable
import xlrd
import xlsxwriter
new_workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook()
sheet = new_workbook.add_worksheet('stops')
#copy all row and column contents to new worksheet
for row_index, row in enumerate(ordered_list_stops):
for col_index, cell_value in enumerate(row):
print("WRITING: " + str(cell_value) + "AT " + str(row_index)+ " " + str(col_index))
sheet.write_row(row_index, col_index, cell_value)
new_workbook.save('output.xlsx')
I can't quite point out whether cell_value is the cause. I tried printing it out and this is the result:
WRITING: text:u'4977'AT 0 0
