It integrates directly into pytest's test collection and execution pipeline, allowing you to generate structured reports without modifying your test code. The plugin depends on openpyxl for Excel file creation and pandas for data handling.\n\nYou invoke it by passing --excelreport=filename.xls to pytest; it supports verbose output (one test per line) and test collection-only mode (--collect-only) to document test structure without running them. Timestamp-based filenames are also supported via strftime formatting in the filename argument.","worth_installing":"Yes. The plugin is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a clear use case for teams that need Excel-formatted test reports. Install it if your workflow or stakeholders require test results in spreadsheet form; skip it if terminal or JSON reporting suffices."},"id":"pytest-excel","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-excel","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-excel.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pytest-excel/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-07-22","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pytest-excel","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"pytest plugin for generating excel reports"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":266185,"position":8305,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.8.1"}
