=== Moderated group === Updated 2009-02-13

This group is moderated. That means that if you are a new member, your
messages are reviewed by a moderator before they are published. This
is necessary to prevent spam flooding the group. At the time of
writing, the group has 313 real members and 102 banned for attempting
to post blatant spam. As the moderators are limited in number, may be
in a different timezone to yours, and sometimes sleep, there may be
some hours delay before your message appears -- please refrain from
sending multiple similar/identical messages during that time.

=== pyExcelerator === Updated 2009-02-13

This package appears to be no longer under maintenance. As at
2009-02-12, the latest release available on pypi (the Python Package
Index) was 0.6.0a, dated August 2005; the latest release available on
sourceforge was 0.6.3a, dated October 2005; the latest svn revision
was committed in February 2007. An alternative to most of the
pyExcelerator functionality is offered by xlwt (http://pypi.python.org/
pypi/xlwt), which is a fork of pyExcelerator with immediate and
continuing bug fixes and enhancements, and is supported on Python 2.3
to 2.6. The parseXLS functionality has been deleted from xlwt; use
xlrd (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlrd) instead. Otherwise something
like your_source_code.replace("pyExcelerator", "xlwt") should be all
that is needed.
