 Thus quoth http://www.lexicon.net/sjmachin/xlrd.html This module
 presents all text strings as Python unicode objects.


And why would that be? As the next sentence in the referenced docs
says, From Excel 97 onwards, text in Excel spreadsheets has been
stored as Unicode.

Gerry, your Q1 string was converted to Unicode when you wrote it
using pyExcelerator's Worksheet.write() method.

HTH,
