title: Is it possible to write tuples to excel using xlswriter
body: <p>Using Python 2.7.6. I want to take a tuple (of 4 lists) and write these to columns (in ascending order) to excel using a loop</p>
  
  <p>I am able to successfully write to the excel using individual lists 
  e.g.</p>
  
  <pre><code>i += 1
  wksheet.write(i,48,lista)
  wksheet.write(i,49,listb)
  wksheet.write(i,50,listc)
  wksheet.write(i,51,listd) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I was wondering if there is a more efficient way of doing this using a tuple of the lists a->d and a loop or something similar? i.e. In the case the number of lists is much larger.
  I tried the following but I got an error: <strong>TypeError: 'tuple' object is not callable</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code># Want to write to excel lista in column1, listb in column 2 etc..
  k = 0
  tuple = (lista,listb,listc,listd)
  for num in range(1,4):
      wksheet.write(k,num,tuple(k))
      k += 1
  </code></pre>
