[Tutor] Extracting information from an EXCEL/Matlab file to use in Python

[Andres Sanchez]

Fellows,

I am trying to extract information from a spreadsheet to use it in Python. For instance, say I have the number 5.6 in cell A1 of Sheet1 in the file example.xls . Could anyone of you ladies and gentleman let me know what commands I need to type in Pyhton to open the file that contains the spreadsheet, localize cell A1, and finally save the value in that cell, e.g. 5.6, as a variable in Python?

Thank you for your help!!

Andres
