Noli, Thanks for your reply, but ... OK I downloaded a .tar file, eventually I got a folder
dist/xlrd-0.8.0/scripts and dist/xlrd-0.8.0/doc & examples and 1000s of words of Python documentation stuff.
I have no idea what to do with what I downloaded. What to I put where to get
QGIS XYtools to read Excel files?
Sorry don't mean to be dense/difficult but I have no background in Python, and
if that is not required I am missing out otherwise. I am not aware of any other
documentation that explains these kinds of issues with plugins.
Thanks for your help -
Richard

QGIS 1.8 XYtools gives and error message about needing XLW & XLRD Python
libraries. I have found the site where they are but I do not understand any
of the directions, etc. I am not a Python programmer resulting in my having
no clue about one has to do. Can sopmeone point me to directions that will
tell me exactly what one is supposed to do and where one does it to get the
XYtools Excel pythins working. Same for Open Office. Seems the installation
process for XYtools should do this. Is there something I missed in the
installation? Thanks!
