"xlrd 0.7.1 - Library for developers to extract data from Microsoft Excel (tm) spreadsheet files": http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlrd If requiring the user to re-save the file as .CSV instead of .XLS is feasible, then you /can/ avoid the third-party dependency and use just the std lib instead: http://docs.python.org/library/csv.html Cheers, Chris -- http://blog.rebertia.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
