That remark appears to be an inverted cousin of the old joke question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" :-) xlrd is still doing what it was designed to do: read (not "interface with") Excel xls files. There is a currently active project to add support for reading the xlsx (x=XML) files produced by Excel 2007. This may be followed by Excel 2007 xlsb (b=binary) files and OpenOffice ods files. Writing is not on the agenda. Cheers, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
