For example, "Garbage In, Garbage Out" :-) Floating point numbers in Python (and other computer languages) are only an approximation: >>> print round(0.145, 2) 0.14 >>> 0.145 0.14499 >>> print round(0.145001, 2) 0.15 http://docs.python.org/tut/node16.html has some more information about this. ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

I'm not sure, but I don't think there's anything particular about the language that says it should be interpreted. As far as I know, programs built with IronPython don't require Python to be installed - only the .NET (2.0?) Framework. http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython You can also build .exe files for Windows using py2exe. http://www.py2exe.org/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

I've never played with Win32 COM before, but your message inspired me to
learn. :-)
A quick Google later, and it seems you need to add the following methods
to the CWordAutomate class:
def Save(self, sFilename):
self.m_obDoc.SaveAs(sFilename)
def Quit(self):
self.m_obWord.Quit()
Then in your code:
> sLastMsg = time.strftime( "document generated on %c", time.localtime() )
> obWord.WriteLine( sLastMsg, "Times New Roman", 14, 0 )
Add these:
obWord.Save("blah.doc")
obWord.Quit()
On my system, "blah.doc" was saved as
C:\Documents and Settings\ozzmosis\My Documents\blah.doc
So you'll need to specify an absolute pathname if you want it to be
saved somewhere else.
I picked this up from:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-win32/2002-June/000396.html
I guess we both need to subscribe to the python-win32 mailing list... ;-)

I thought that seek() provided "random access", ie. to seek to anywhere at random in a file. Can you clarify what you mean by "random access files"?

Just changing the file extension from .csv to .xls won't change the file format. OpenOffice 2.0 supports both .csv and .xls file formats and includes some sort of Python integration. It may be possible to use that. Regards Andrew ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
