无法使用xlrd打开xlsx文件

Question

I am getting an error file is not support in xlrd-0.7.1.

The file is saved in xlsx format

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\jawed\workspace\test\Excelproject.py", line 8, in <module>
    workbook=xlrd.open_workbook(file_location)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\xlrd\__init__.py", line 425, in open_workbook
    on_demand=on_demand,
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\xlrd\__init__.py", line 878, in biff2_8_load
    f = open(filename, open_mode)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\jawed\\workspace\\IAMarks.xls'

Answer 1

The file doesn't exist.

Check the location of the file before calling the function:

import os
if os.path.isfile(file_location):
     workbook = xlrd.open_workbook(file_location)
else:
    # tell the user they've done something wrong

A possibly more Pythonic way to do it (see EAFP ) is in a try / except block:

try:
     workbook = xlrd.open_workbook(file_location)
except IOError as error:
    print(error)
    # tell the user they've done something wrong
