ImportError: No module named xlsxwriter

Here are some easy way to get you up and running with the XlsxWriter module.The first step is to install the XlsxWriter module.The pip installer is the preferred method for installing Python modules from PyPI, the Python Package Index:

sudo pip install xlsxwriter

Note

Windows users can omit sudo at the start of the command.

Even if it looks like the module is installed, as far as Python is concerned it isn't since it throws that exception.

Try installing the module again using one of the installation methods shown in the XlsxWriter docs and look out for any installation errors.

If there are none then run a sample program like the following:

import xlsxwriter

workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook('hello.xlsx')
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()

worksheet.write('A1', 'Hello world')

workbook.close()

I have the same issue. It seems that pip is the problem. Try

pip uninstall xlsxwriter
easy_install xlsxwriter
