Detail AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'workbook'

Question

I keep getting the Detail AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'workbook' error.

below is my code

import xlwt

workbook = xlwt.workbook()

sheet = workbook.add_sheet('Eswar')

sheet.write (4,4,'Test passed')

workbook.save("D:\resultsLatest.xls")

what have i done wrong?

I am using python 2.7

@SylvainLeroux, you are right, [docs](https://secure.simplistix.co.uk/svn/xlwt/trunk/xlwt/doc/xlwt.html?p=4966). — Maciej Gol, Aug 21 '14 at 15:27
@SylvainLeroux Why isnt't this accepting the path I have given, it accepts only a file name when I save it using Workbook.save — Brother85, Aug 21 '14 at 17:06

In source code on github you can see right spelling Workbook. Your code should be:

import xlwt
workbook = xlwt.Workbook()
sheet = workbook.add_sheet('Eswar')
sheet.write(4,4,'Test passed')
workbook.save("D:\\resultsLatest.xls")

Backslash is symbol with special meaning, I've updated example to fix this. It quote symbol next to it. More here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/301068/python-backslash-quoting-in-string-literals – Mikhail Kashkin Aug 21 '14 at 21:37
