In Python3, the openpyxl code is failing to compile

Question

I'm trying to run code that worked last week, but when I try today, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/voyager2/mu_code/IEDBWork/PMID32502341/32502341DSTMaker.py", line 6, in <module>
    import openpyxl, pprint, sys

    from .workbook import Workbook

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

It seems like there's a problem in the openpyxl. That code popped up when I was debugging, and I fear I may have accidentally typed something in it. But now I can't figure out how to open up the openpyxl code to check.

Answer 1

Check that your file is not running in Microsoft Excel or any other excel editor. Or I think reinstall openpyxl may help you pip uninstall openpyxl and then pip install openpyxl
