I don't xlrd, but:
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-urllib2.html
urlopen(  url[, data])
 Open the URL url, which can be either a string or a Request object. 
data should be a string, which specifies additional data to send to the
server. In HTTP requests, which are the only ones that support data, it
should be a buffer in the format of application/x-www-form-urlencoded, for
example one returned from urllib.urlencode().

What is your _u_?
