How to delete a worksheet

[PG]

I am newbie to python. I need to check whether worksheet exist or not
in an excel. If exist, I need to delete. Please help me or share the
code snippet if you have?

I did checked xlrd, xlwt, win32com, and pyexcelerator. All I could do
is add a worksheet. But I didn't find a way to delete.

thanks

Hi PG, you should be able to do it using win32com.

From the Excel 2003 VBA help:
"""
This example deletes Sheet3 in the active workbook without displaying
the confirmation dialog box.

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Worksheets("Sheet3").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
"""

The operative line will after translation from VB to Python look
something like:
your_handle.Worksheets("Sheet3").Delete()

HTH,
John
