xlrd is a library for reading data and formatting information from Excel
files in the historical .xls
format.
.. warning::
This library will no longer read anything other than .xls
files. For
alternatives that read newer file formats, please see http://www.python-excel.org/.
The following are also not supported but will safely and reliably be ignored:
Password-protected files are not supported and cannot be read by this library.
Quick start:
.. code-block:: python
import xlrd
book = xlrd.open_workbook("myfile.xls")
print("The number of worksheets is {0}".format(book.nsheets))
print("Worksheet name(s): {0}".format(book.sheet_names()))
sh = book.sheet_by_index(0)
print("{0} {1} {2}".format(sh.name, sh.nrows, sh.ncols))
print("Cell D30 is {0}".format(sh.cell_value(rowx=29, colx=3)))
for rx in range(sh.nrows):
print(sh.row(rx))
From the command line, this will show the first, second and last rows of each sheet in each file:
.. code-block:: bash
python PYDIR/scripts/runxlrd.py 3rows *blah*.xls
