pip install xlutils python3

I'm trying to install xlutils package to access xls sheets in Python but unfortunately I'm unable to install it.

Python version 3.5.1

using spyder editor, have got this error.

runfile('E:/python_practice/task2/gen1.py', wdir='E:/python_practice/task2')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyderlib\widgets\externalshell\sitecustomize.py", line 699, in runfile
    execfile(filename, namespace)
  File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyderlib\widgets\externalshell\sitecustomize.py", line 88, in execfile
    exec(compile(open(filename, 'rb').read(), filename, 'exec'), namespace)
  File "E:/python_practice/task2/gen1.py", line 10, in <module>
    from xlutils.copy import copy
ImportError: No module named 'xlutils'

so, downloaded xlutils from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlutils and unzipped, copied and pasted in sitepackages folder of python35 folder and as well as anaconda3 folder.But still i'm getting above mentioned error.

Solution

  • Have you read the docs of this module? It clearly explains everythinf you should do. There is a way to install it using pip. Type this in your command-line: pip install xlutils. That should install it. For any further problems, read the documentation.

    EDIT: Never mind, this package is unavailable for Python 3.5

    This package is support on Python 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
