Answer 2

+3 A:

You can't write to the filesystem in App Engine, so pyexcelerator's save function obviously won't work.

You'll want to take the data pyexcelerator's generating, and instead of writing it to a file either save it as a blob in the Datastore or return it directly to the user's browser.

Answer 3

+1 A:

You may like to consider xlwt, a fork of pyExcelerator with bug-fixes and on-going enhancements. See http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlwt ... disclosure: I'm the maintainer of xlwt.
