Hi,

Highly informative site!
Wanna know if there’s any way to ignore the grayed out or the fields that have been struck-off of an excel sheet while writing its contents into another file using xlrd..

Thanks in advance:)

amazing, i wonder how to read row~cols symbolic names themselves. very useful using nrows and ncols for measuring workspaces!

I also recommend the PyWorkbooks project.

PyWorkbooks is a module to treat open excel files as native python objects, and interface with them using standard calls. (i.e. B[[1, :10] will get you the first 10 points of data on row 1, the same as B['A2:J2'], both are valid), and change it using standard calls as well.

check out the source, distutils install file, and documentation here:
