excelipy 0.1.4

Wrapper around xlsxwriter to improve usability

Excelipy

Installation

You can install the package using pip:

pip install excelipy

Usage

The idea for this package is for it to be a declarative way of using the xlsxwritter. It allows you to define Excel files using Python objects, which can be more intuitive and easier to manage than writing raw Excel files.

Simple Example

import excelipy as ep

sheets = [
    ep.Sheet(
        name="Hello!",
        components=[
            ep.Text(text="Hello world!", width=2),
            ep.Fill(width=2, style=ep.Style(background="#33c481")),
            ep.Table(data=df),
        ],
        style=ep.Style(padding=1)
    ),
]

excel = ep.Excel(
    path=Path("filename.xlsx"),
    sheets=sheets,
)

ep.save(excel)

Result:

Working with images

You can also add images to your Excel sheets. Auto-

import excelipy as ep

sheets = [
    ep.Sheet(
        name="Hello!",
        components=[
            ep.Image(
                path=Path("resources/img.png"),
                width=2,
                height=5,
                style=ep.Style(border=2),
            ),
        ],
    ),
]

excel = ep.Excel(
    path=Path("filename.xlsx"),
    sheets=sheets,
)

ep.save(excel)

Result:

                        border_color="#F02932",
                    )
                },
                style=ep.Style(padding=1),
            ).with_stripes(pattern="even"),

        style=ep.Style(
            font_size=14,
            font_family="Times New Roman",
            padding=1,

    ),
]

ep.save(excel)

This is an exaggerated example, to show the capabilities of the package. You can see that for a table, you can define the header style, body style, column styles, row styles, and even the column widths. You can also add text and fill components to the sheet.

This is the result:
