Hi, > Is it possible to import data from Excel for > doing numerical analysis in Python? If so how?
use John Machins glamouros 'xlrd' http://www.lexicon.net/sjmachin/xlrd.htm form his documentation: import xlrd book = xlrd.open_workbook("myfile.xls") print "The number of worksheets is", book.nsheets print "Worksheet name(s):", book.sheet_names() sh = book.sheet_by_index(0) print sh.name, sh.nrows, sh.ncols print "Cell D30 is", sh.cell_value(rowx=29, colx=3) for rx in range(sh.nrows): print sh.row(rx) This module is (imho) quite useful. No need for installed Windows or Office. Regards Mirco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
