How to save an excel workbook from within python-CodePudding

I'm new to python I made this code which makes you input data that is Automatticly inputted into excel. The thing is when I run the program twice it overwrites the previous data so I need to know how to save it. this is the code I wrote

import xlsxwriter

workbook = xlsxwriter.Workbook('Book1.xlsx')
worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()

name = input('your full name: ')
age = int(input('your age: '))
emaill = input('your email: ')


idontknow = (
    ['Name', name],
    ['Age', age],
    ['Email', emaill],
)
row = 0
col = 0
for item, cost in idontknow:
    worksheet.write(row, col, item)
    worksheet.write(row, col   1, cost)
    row  = 1
workbook.close()

any suggestion will help

I would recommend using "csv" - https://docs.python.org/3/library/csv.html excel can read and save to csv format, and I find it easier to work with.

I would recommend using the pandas library to perform the data manipulation. A code that performs the task you indicate would be the following:

import pandas as pd

#read the file and make a DataFrame
data = pd.read_excel('Book1.xlsx')
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

#get the data
name = input('your full name: ')
age = int(input('your age: '))
email = input('your email: ')

#get the last edited row
row = len(df)

#write the data
df.loc[row, 'name'] = name
df.loc[row, 'age'] = age
df.loc[row, 'email'] = email

#save the file
df.to_excel('Book1.xlsx',index=False)

Additionally, this code allows you to have headers for each column in your file, which is convenient in most situations.
