File module issues with excel format
Question:
My goal is to write result into single excel file, here is simple code that I tried:
import numpy_financial as npf
Present = 2000
period = 20
rate = 0.12
pmt = abs(npf.pmt(rate/12,period*12,Present))
print(pmt)
import csv
file = open("Result.xlsx",'w')
file = csv.writer(file)
file.writerow([pmt])
As an outcome, Result.xlsx was created, but I can’t open it. If I change xlsx extension to csv, then it works fine. I know that there is another library called xlsxwriter, but just for shake of curiosity, does csv module supports xlsx-extensions?
Or am I missing something?
Answers:
No, the csv module does not support xlsx extensions. Here is a quote from the documentation I linked:
The csv module implements classes to read and write tabular data in
CSV format
The documentation does not mention support for writing xlsx.
