installing xlwt ImportError: No module names 'Workbook'

[Joshua Williams]

Hi all,

I have been able to successfully install xlrd by doing python setup.py install. When I go to do this for xlwt in throws an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "setup.py", line 4, in <module>

    from xlwt import __VERSION__

  File "/Users/Williams/Downloads/xlwt-0.7.5/xlwt/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>

    from Workbook import Workbook

ImportError: No module named 'Workbook'

Any advice? It seems strange since the xlwt folder has the Workbook.py module in it... 

Let me know if anyone can help out!

Thanks,

Josh

I am assuming this is related to your other post.

You did not say what version of Python you where using before, but xlwt
only works with Python 2.x:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlwt

If you want an experimental 3.x version see here:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlwt-future
