How to write a list of list into excel using python?

You can use the pandas library.

import pandas as pd

new_list = [["first", "second"], ["third", "four"], ["five", "six"]]
df = pd.DataFrame(new_list)
writer = pd.ExcelWriter('test.xlsx', engine='xlsxwriter')
df.to_excel(writer, sheet_name='welcome', index=False)
writer.save()

  • pandas.DataFrame
  • pandas.DataFrame.to_excel

Here is one way to do it using XlsxWriter:

import xlsxwriter

new_list = [['first', 'second'], ['third', 'four'], [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]]

with xlsxwriter.Workbook('test.xlsx') as workbook:
    worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()

    for row_num, data in enumerate(new_list):
        worksheet.write_row(row_num, 0, data)

Output:
