Here's the answer I just posted to your question on Stack Overflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22612301/xlrd-xlwt-with-sagemath):
Rather than installing them with the system Python, install them with Sage's Python: you can either do sage --sh: this starts a subshell with various environment variables set appropriately for use with Sage, in particular $PATH will have $SAGE_ROOT/local/bin first. Then install the packages with python setup.py install etc. Or you can just run Sage's Python directly with sage --python setup.py install .... -- John On Monday, March 24, 2014 7:07:23 AM UTC-7, Shaifali Agrawal wrote: > > Hello everyone > > I want to use xlrd, xlwt, xlutils with sagemath.
