Please replace the first 4 lines of your script by these 6 lines:

import xlrd
assert xlrd.__VERSION__ == "0.7.1"
from xlwt import easyxf
from xlutils.copy import copy
rb = xlrd.open_workbook(
    'source.xls',formatting_info=True, on_demand=False)

and run it again. Please copy all the output and paste it into your
response.
