Running xlwt module in Abaqus
I think raw_input command is just not supported within CAE environment. 
You can use getInput() or getInputs() instead.
Windows Machine, Python 2.4:
When I run my script in Abaqus' "Run Script...", I get an ImportError saying that xlwt module does not exist. The same script runs perfectly well in my Eclipse IDE or Python IDE. I made sure that I gave the right path to the Python Library. 
Any help in this regard would be appreciated. Thanks!
