Usage

1. Provide a valid Tableau workbook file ('.twb' or '.twbx') to declare a Workbook object:

import TableauDesktopPy as tdp

my_workbook = tdp.Workbook("C:\Users\bpewyllie\test_workbook.twbx")

2. Then use any of the following methods to retrieve workbook metadata:

• Workbook.get_colors
• Workbook.get_custom_sql
• Workbook.get_excel
