"Python lover's review of python xlrd"
What do you like best about python xlrd?

What do you dislike about python xlrd?

I don't dislike much about python's xlrd library, but one thing that annoys me is the problems it has with pandas and anaconda. It can cause some compatibility errors at times that are hard to resolve. I have also had some issues with typecasting with xlrd. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
