[melbourne-pug] Excel spreadsheet munging under Linux. Limits?

[David Crisp]

I have just finished a major project using the xlrd and xlwt python libs. 
Theres also an xlutil lib as well which allows you to manipiulate excel. 
but i havent played with that one. (I also used pymssql to push this data 
into an MSSQL database.. but thats a different story)

For a sheet that holds basic data I havent found anything the libs wont 
do.

They work in Py3.3 and Py2.7

Regards,
David
