Hi All,
Well, I've finally called it and tagged current master of xlrd as 1.0.0:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlrd/1.0.0
This release includes the following changes since the last release:
- Official support, such as it is, is now for 2.6, 2.7, 3.3+
- Fixes a bug in looking up non-lowercase sheet filenames by ensuring
that the sheet targets are transformed the same way as the
component_names dict keys.
- Fixes a bug for ragged_rows=False when merged cells increases the
number of columns in the sheet. This requires all rows to be extended to
ensure equal row lengths that match the number of columns in the sheet.
- Fixes to enable reading of SAP-generated .xls files.
- support BIFF4 files with missing FORMAT records.
- support files with missing WINDOW2 record.
- Empty cells are now always unicode strings, they were a bytestring on
Python2 and a unicode string on Python3.
- Fix for <cell> inlineStr attribute without <si> child.
- Fix for a zoom of None causes problems on Python 3.
- Fix parsing of bad dimensions.
- Fix xlsx sheet->comments relationship.

NB: If you would like to become the maintainer of xlwt, please get in

forward nowadays, hence the year or so between each release...
cheers,
Chris
