pyexcel 0.0.8

A wrapper library to read, manipulate and write data in different excel formats: csv, ods, xls, xlsx and xlsm.

pyexcel and its plugins are a wrapper library to read, manipulate and write data in different excel formats: csv, ods, xls, xlsx and xlsm. Its mission is to let you focus on data itself and it deals with different file formats. Fonts, colors and charts are not supported.

All great work have done by odf, ezodf(2), xlrd, xlwt, tabulate and other individual developers. This library unites only the data access code.
