Hi All, Too many people in the Python community *still* think the only way to work with Excel files in Python is using COM on Windows.
To try and correct this, I'm giving a tutorial at this year's EuroPython conference in Birmingham, UK on Monday, 29th June that will cover working with Excel files in Python using the pure-python libraries xlrd, xlwt and xlutils. I'll be looking to cover: - Reading Excel Files Including extracting all the data types, formatting and working with large files. - Writing Excel Files Including formatting, many of the useful frilly extras and writing large excel files. - Modifying and Filtering Excel Files A run through of taking existing Excel files and modifying them in various ways. - Workshop for your problems I'm hoping anyone who attends will get a lot out of this! If you're planning on attending and have a particular problem you'd like to work on in this part of the tutorial, please drop me an email and I'll try and make sure I come prepared! All you need for the tutorial is a working knowledge of Excel and Python, with a laptop as an added benefit, and to be at EuroPython this year: http://www.europython.eu/ I look forward to seeing you all there!
