xlwt 0.7.4 released!

[Chris Withers]

Hi All,

I'm pleased to announce the release of xlwt 0.7.4. This release has only 
a couple of changes in it:

- Python 2.3 to 2.7 are now the officially supported versions, no Python 
3 yet, sorry.

- The datemode in an xlwt Workbook can be set to 1904 by doing 
`workbook.dates_1904 = 1` and is written to the output file. However the 
datemode was not being reflected in conversions from datetime.datetime 
and datetime.date objects to floats for output, resulting in dates that 
were 4 years too high when seen in Excel.

For a full details, please see the GitHub repository:

There's also details of all things Python and Excel related here:

cheers,

Chris
