If your company uses pyexcel and its components in a revenue-generating product, please consider supporting the project on GitHub or Patreon. Your financial support will enable me to dedicate more time to coding, improving documentation, and creating engaging content.

Nor to read password protected xls, xlsx and ods files.
pyexcel-io provides one application programming interface(API) to read and write the data in excel format, import the data into and export the data from database. It provides support for csv(z) format, django database and sqlalchemy supported databases. Its supported file formats are extended to cover "xls", "xlsx", "ods" by the following extensions:
A list of file formats supported by external plugins Package name Supported file formats Dependencies pyexcel-io csv, csvz [1], tsv, tsvz [2] csvz,tsvz readers depends on chardet pyexcel-xls xls, xlsx(read only), xlsm(read only) xlrd, xlwt pyexcel-xlsx xlsx openpyxl pyexcel-ods3 ods pyexcel-ezodf, lxml pyexcel-ods ods odfpy Dedicated file reader and writersSince 2020, all pyexcel-io plugins have dropped the support for python versions which are lower than 3.6. If you want to use any of those Python versions, please use pyexcel-io and its plugins versions that are lower than 0.6.0.
Except csv files, xls, xlsx and ods files are a zip of a folder containing a lot of xml files
The dedicated readers for excel files can stream read
In order to manage the list of plugins installed, you need to use pip to add or remove a plugin. When you use virtualenv, you can have different plugins per virtual environment. In the situation where you have multiple plugins that does the same thing in your environment, you need to tell pyexcel which plugin to use per function call. For example, pyexcel-ods and pyexcel-odsr, and you want to get_array to use pyexcel-odsr. You need to append get_array(..., library='pyexcel-odsr').
Footnotes
If you need to manipulate the data, you might do it yourself or use its brother library pyexcel .
If you would like to extend it, you may use it to write your own extension to handle a specific file format.
You can install pyexcel-io via pip:
or clone it and install it:
$ git clone https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel-io.git $ cd pyexcel-io $ python setup.py install
Development steps for code changes
Upgrade your setup tools and pip. They are needed for development and testing only:
Then install relevant development requirements:
Once you have finished your changes, please provide test case(s), relevant documentation and update changelog.yml
Note
As to rnd_requirements.txt, usually, it is created when a dependent library is not released. Once the dependency is installed (will be released), the future version of the dependency in the requirements.txt will be valid.
How to test your contributionAlthough nose and doctest are both used in code testing, it is advisable that unit tests are put in tests. doctest is incorporated only to make sure the code examples in documentation remain valid across different development releases.
On Linux/Unix systems, please launch your tests like this:
$ make
On Windows, please issue this command:
> test.bat
Please run:
$ make format
so as to beautify your code otherwise your build may fail your unit test.
