Import data from Excel

| from win32com.client import GetObject, constants
| 
| def GetExcelData(self, strFilePath):
|     """ Extract the data from the Excel sheet. 
|     Returns tuple of tuples representing the rows and cells."""
|     # The following line extracts 
|     # all the data from sheet 1 of the spreadsheet
|     return GetObject(strFilePath).Sheets(1).UsedRange.Value

Amazing! I never knew you could do that -- GetObject against
a registered file path, I mean. Certainly beats my trying to
remember whether you call .Open on an Excel Application, Workbook,
Worksheet or something else altogether. 

Thanks, Dale.
