pyXLWriter

5 write unicode data - ID: 1080213

Last Update: Comment added ( bkline )

Details:

the perl Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module allows one to
write unicode data in UTF-16BE (or LE) format. It
would be nice if pyXLWriter allowed the same.

Nevertheless, I would still be very grateful if we could get some indication as to the progress on updating this module to support the functionality contained in the current version of the original Perl module. Please?!? Bob

It's puzzling that the priority for the request to read Excel files is set to the highest possible value, when that functionality, while desirable in itself, it beyond the scope of this module, whereas the ability to support international character sets has become a standard requirement for contemporary software.
