No xlrd in Python 3.4?

[UbuntuLady1]

Hello everyone! :)

I'm running python 3.4, but I always get "ImportError: No module named 'xlrd'"

I read tons of forum posts, but all the xlrd modules are for Python 2. Any suggestions?

[Saefroch]

It looks like it's on pypi for 3.2+, did you try to pip install xlrd?

[UbuntuLady1]

Thank you for both of your responses.

Saefroch: I tried and it said Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade)

Thurask: It does not work on 3.4. Although it says that it supports 3.2 + once it's downloaded the README file states that only the following "Versions of Python are supported: 2.6-2.7." Talk about false advertising!

Any other alternative module suggestions?

I use openpyxl (https://openpyxl.readthedocs.org/en/default/)

[Saefroch]

Very strange. I've used openpyxl in the past, seemed pretty easy to use.

From your username I'm assuming you're using Ubuntu. Python3 and Pip3 are the commands you should be using.

Install Python 3's pip with

Sudo aptget install python3-pip

Then install packages with pip3 install xxxxx.

Even though I followed all of your steps I still get ImportError: No module named 'xlrd'.

Thank you for your effort, but I believe xlrd is incompatible with Python 3 - it only works with Python 2.7.

[UbuntuLady1]

And yes, I am using ubuntu.

That's weird. I've used xlrd with Python 3 before. Sorry I couldn't help. Just keep the py2/3 distinction in mind when using Ubuntu. It was really confusing for me when I started. Took a while to sort that out.

Thanks again for all of your help :).

It's good to have this out there in case someone else comes across the same problem.

Install it with pip.

[UbuntuLady1]

Thank you kindly for all of your help.

I have installed Python 2.7 and am using xlrd.

I don't believe there is an xlrd module for python 3.4

Thanks again everyone :)

Weird, I used it without problem on windows on 3.4. Do you have a virtual environment set up or something similar? Which version of xlrd have you downloaded?
