The xlrd module provides the capability to work with Microsoft Excel spreadsheets in Python. I wanted to be able to use a Python script to extract the data from one column of an Excel worksheet and write the data to a text file which I could further process with another script. Xlrd, which is a package for reading data and formatting information form Excel files, allowed me to easily extract just the data I needed, which was a list of email addresses, from the spreadsheet. A tutorial is provided for installing and using the module.
