Problem with converting csv file to xls

[Jehanneman]

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to make a function in Python that converts a csv file into a xls file.
I have to convert about 500 files so you understand that I need it to be as clean as possible.

This is the code I wrote, just for one file later on I'll execute it on every file of the folder:

from win32com.client import Dispatch
import os

fpath = 'C:\\usr\\PRG_PYTHON\\TestFiles\\File1.csv'

def ConvertCSVToXLS(fpath):
  
    excel = Dispatch('Excel.Application')

    (filedir, filename) = os.path.split(fpath)
    (shortname,extension) = os.path.splitext(filename)
    
    newname =shortname + ".xls"
    outCSV = os.path.join(filedir, newname)
    excel.Visible=1
    workbook = excel.Workbooks.Open(fpath)
    workbook.SaveAs(outCSV, FileFormat=24) # 6 represents CSV file
    workbook.Close(SaveChanges=0)
    excel.Quit()
    excel.Visible=0
    del excel

    print "...Converted " + shortname + " to xls"

ConvertCSVToXLS(fpath)

When I execute this file, everything seems to be working just fine. But when I open the file though I get a lot of messages and I have to save the file in the right format because it stil see's the file as a csv?!?
Does anyone know how to takkle this problem.

When I do it manually (open .csv file in Excel and save it in .xls) it works as a charme.

Many thx in front!
