xlwt is a fork of pyExcelerator so the demos are probably the same. Based on this groups.google.com/group/python-excel/browse_thread/thread/… I would say that pyExcelerator is no longer maintained
@ghostdog74: pyExcelerator has a bad case of the Norwegian Blue Parrot syndrome. xlwt has extra functionality, better speed, uses less memory and has a tutorial ... see python-excel.org

I'm looking into this myself and found https://bitbucket.org/ericgazoni/openpyxl/wiki/Home . It is a new library that allows editing xlsx files.
