What kind of magic do I need to get python to talk to Excel xlsm file?

[Steve]

Wow, that is quite a list....
Here is what I narrowed it down to. What does that paragraph starting with "Requires" mean?

===================================
Pandas: a cross-section and time series data analysis toolkit.

Requires numpy, dateutil, pytz, setuptools, and optionally numexpr, bottleneck, scipy, matplotlib, pytables, lxml, xarray, blosc, snappy, brotlipy, backports.lzma, statsmodels, sqlalchemy, psycopg2, and whatnot.

pandas‑1.1.1‑cp39‑cp39‑win_amd64.whl

============================================================
Footnote: 
Mars is the only known planet in our solar system solely inhabited by functioning robots.
