Util for quick XLS responses in views.

Requires django and xlwt.

Usage:

class BitterButter(DetailView):

    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        obj = self.get_object()
        formatter = XlsFormatter(
            obj.table_contents,
            t_header=obj.table_header,
            preface=(
                (u'Date', now()),
                (u'Author', u'Me'),
            )
        )
        return formatter.http_response()
