Excel Read

To read or write data from an XLS file in Python, the XLRD and XLWT modules must be installed. These can be downloaded and installed via the command line. To read a file, the XLRD module is imported and used to open the workbook. Individual sheets can then be accessed and cells can be read by creating cell objects. Writing data involves importing XLWT, creating a workbook and worksheet, and using write methods to enter values into cells before saving.
