My town office uses Microsoft operating system. They have a proprietary
accounting system that uses excel for their accounting reports.
I would like to read these report and reproduce the report so that
the report can be seen on the web. I was thinking about using xlrd and
xlwt along with some sort of software for building the web pages. I
use linux only and do not use Microsoft.
Q. Does python have to be installed on there computer to run the script?

Q. Am I approaching this the wrong way? If so, what would be a better
approach?

Wayne, check out google group python-excel.
They are very helpful there, and I believe there are threads on how to
compile what you are looking for into a .exe for just such a situation
(Disclaimer: I am far from an expert, so I may have misunderstood from
the python-excel thread if python is/isn't required on the target
machine once the .exe is built, but try that group - John Machin is
very responsive)

If it were me, I'd just have Excel print to a PDF. No conversion, no
scripting. There are a number of open source PDF converters.
