xlwt: Numbers stored as string have decimal point in Excel
<p>I am currently using xlrd and xlwt in order to scan through tables and store the found information in a different excel file.
The input file has some integers that I want to use as a primary key and I store them as a string:</p>

<p><code>sheet.write(row, column, str(value))</code></p>

<p>However when I open the output excel file, I see these keys as following:</p>

<pre><code>220
230
240.0
250.0
</code></pre>

<p>I want to get rid of the random decimal point and have an uniform format for the strings/integers.
I could format them in excel, but I get a bunch of output files and need a way to make this in an automated manner.</p>
