<br></blockquote></div><br>A quick google search shows <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://pyxlreader.sourceforge.net/">http://pyxlreader.sourceforge.net/</a> , and a few other libraries for reading xls files. I don't use excel, so I can't test it. There may not be a library for going straight from xls -> html, but if you can get xls -> text or a list or whatnot, then you could use pretty much any html generation tool you want on it, python's got plenty of templating libraries available.<br>
