Export Dictionary to Excel in Python

Using the csv Module

To export a dictionary to a CSV file which can be opened in Excel, use the Python csv module. Utilize the DictWriter class to write the dictionary to a CSV file. This CSV file can then be opened directly in Excel or saved in .xlsx format for compatibility with Excel spreadsheets.

Using pandas

For a more direct approach to exporting a dictionary to an Excel file, the pandas library is ideal. With pandas, you can convert the dictionary into a DataFrame and then use the to_excel method to create an Excel file. This file will have the .xlsx extension, ensuring seamless integration with Excel.

Cross-Module Functionality

The csv module's capabilities can be extended with pandas for exporting a dictionary to an Excel file. By creating a CSV file using the csv module and then reading it with pandas, you can save the data in .xlsx format, combining the strengths of both libraries.
