devart-excel-connector 1.1.0

New level of functionality and performance in data access via Python

Python Connector for Microsoft Excel

Python Connector for Microsoft Excel is a connectivity solution for accessing Microsoft Excel, Apache OpenOffice Calc, and LibreOffice Calc spreadsheets from Python applications. It fully implements the Python DB API 2.0 specification. The connector is distributed as a wheel package for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Direct connection

Our connector provides the following advantages:

• A direct access to an Excel workbook without installing Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Access Database Engine Redistributable components on the user's machine
• Support for all major desktop platforms: Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Support for the Microsoft Excel 2007-2021 Workbook (.xlsx), Microsoft Excel 97-2003 Workbook (.xls), and OpenDocument Spreadsheet (.ods) file formats
• A read-only multi-user mode that enables several users to read data from a workbook simultaneously

Using the connector

To retrieve data from a database:

Import the module.

import devart.excel

Connect to a database using the connect() module method and obtain a connection object.

my_connection = devart.excel.connect(
    Database="path_to_workbook"
)

Create a cursor object using the cursor() connection method.

my_cursor = my_connection.cursor()

Execute the SQL statement using the execute() cursor method.

my_cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM employees")

Retrieve the result set using one of the fetch*() cursor methods.

for row in my_cursor.fetchall(): 
    print(row)
