Answer 1

If you want to loop through the cells in a row use:

def color_row(row=0):
    'make row of cells background colored, defaults to column header row'
    row = t.rows[row]
    for cell in row.cells:
        shading_elm_2 = parse_xml(r''.format(nsdecls('w')))
        cell._tc.get_or_add_tcPr().append(shading_elm_2)

run the function to color cells in the second row

color_row(2)
