I'm new to python (and to programming in general).
I am having a problem using xlrd, xlwt and xlutils for accessing an xlsx workbook (it is a common question but i did not find any solution for me).
Should I change my package for py-excel?
In that case, which one?
Here is my code:
import xlrd
import xlwt
from xlutils.copy import copy as xlutils_copy
rd = xlrd.open_workbook("x:/PROJECTS/Papers/2014_Pasture/a.xlsx")
rdsh = rd.sheet_by_name("FR_PASTURE")
wrb = xlutils_copy(rd)
ws = wrb.get_sheet_by_name("FR_PASTURE")
And the error I am receiving:
Traceback (most recent call last):

xlrd, xlwt, and xlutils are for accessing xls files, and have not been updated for use with xlsx files, which results in your multiple errors.
As a workaround, there is now a Python library openpyxlwhich can easily read and write Excel xlsx/xlsm/xltx/xltm files.
