this code leaves an empty time sheet and overwrites every time I run it, I can't figure out the mistake, please suggest.

my code:

#!/usr/bin/python
import requests
from xlsxwriter import Workbook
import sys

def toExcelTime(time):
# time is in milliseconds
# divide by 1000 to obtain seconds
# divide by 86400 (seconds in a day) and obtain the "fraction of day" used in Excel times
return float(time) / 1000. / 86400.
