I am using xlrd to create spreadsheets. On a website, a user will be able to create a custom report and download that xls file.

Usually, I am storing files on S3, but in this case, is there a way not to store the file anywhere and just give it directly to the user? Or how should I do this if I don't want to use S3 to save the file?

xlrd is a good choice. About the generation and download processes - it depends on the web framework in usage, here is an example with web2py.

  • Thank you, I did a quick google of something similar in django, do you know of any tools/tutorials there? – David542 Jun 04 '12 at 21:20
