What is your understanding of the Paste arguments? Have you looked them up 
in Excel VBA help?

The equivalent of VBA Paste is Paste(). No arguments.

The first [optional] argument to Paste is a range object. Creating range 
objects is an Excel topic, not Python. Look up range object in Excel VBA help.

One way to create a range object in your example is: RangeObject = 
xlSheet.Range("A5")

Then the paste could be coded xlSheet.Paste(RangeObject)
