Python Library for Reading Excel Files

Came across a pretty sweet python library for reading data from Excel files: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlrd. Xlrd is super easy to install and use. Here's a snippet of code:

1:  import xlrd  
2:    
3:  mybook = xlrd.open_workbook("test.xls")  
4:  sheets = mybook.sheets()  
5:  for sheet in sheets:  
6:    for i in range(sheet.nrows):  
7:     for j in range(sheet.ncols):  
8:       cell = sheet.cell(i, j)  
9:       if cell.ctype != xlrd.XL_CELL_EMPTY:  
10:        print cell.value  
11:    

There are many other cool things you can do with xlrd. I encourage you to try it out!
