excelrd

excelrd is a Python library designed for developers to extract data and formatting information from Microsoft Excel spreadsheet files, supporting both the older `.xls` and newer `.xlsx` formats. It is a modified version of the `xlrd` library, specifically updated to maintain compatibility and functionality with modern Python versions (3.7+), as `xlrd` itself no longer supports `.xlsx` files in its recent versions. The library is currently at version 3.0.0 and sees releases primarily for Python compatibility and maintenance.
