export data from sqlite to Excel file in multiple tabs in python

Question

......
......
ofile  = open('test.csv', "wb")
writer = csv.writer(ofile)
conn=sqlite3.connect('test.sqlite')
c=conn.cursor()
c.execute("select * from emp")
mysel=c.execute("select * from emp")
for row in mysel:
    print row
    writer.writerow(row)
ofile.close()
.....

above code is working fine and i am getting results as csv.

Problem starts when i want to write data in csv in mulitple tabs. i checked on this site and people are saying there is no option. i have to use Excel.

to get data populated in different tabs, am trying the below code with

import xlsxwriter
ofile = xlsxwriter.Workbook('mac.xlsx')
worksheet1 = ofile.add_worksheet()
conn=sqlite3.connect('test.sqlite')
c=conn.cursor()
c.execute("select * from emp")
mysel=c.execute("select * from emp ")
for row in mysel:
    print row
    worksheet1.write("A1",row)
    #worksheet1.write(" ",row)
    #worksheet1.write(row)
ofile.close()

no success, please help me to sort the issue, i hope my goal (write data in to excel from sqlite3 using python in multiple tabs) is clear. please share your experienced thoughts

1) can i do this using xlsxwriter 2) should i use any other library 3) is there any simple way to do it

please help

Here's an example how to create an excel file with multiple sheets using xlsxwriter:

from xlsxwriter.workbook import Workbook


workbook = Workbook('output.xlsx')
for i in range(10):
    worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()
    worksheet.write(0, 0, "I'm sheet number %d" % (i + 1))

workbook.close()
