Right, the only API change between 0.6 and 0.9 is the removal of the
'pickleable' parameter to open_workbook. However, this was removed
because it hadn't worked in a long long time.

xlrd 0.9 and above works with both python2 and python3 as-is.

I would suggest just going for 0.9.2.

There aren't any, because there are no changes. Applications written for
0.6.x will still work without change when using 0.9.2.

cheers,

Chris

Hi All,

I'm pleased to announce the release of xlwt 0.7.5.

This release contains the following:

- Fixes a bug that could cause a corrupt SST in .xls files written by a
wide-unicode Python build.

- A ValueError is now raised immediately if an attempt is made to set
column width to other than an int in range(65536)

- Added the ability to set a custom RGB colour in the palette to use for
colours. Thanks to Alan Rotman for the work, although this could really
use an example in the examples folder...

- Fixed an issue trying to set a diagonal border using easyxf. Thanks to
Neil Etheridge for the fix.

- Fixed a regression from 0.7.2 when writing sheets with frozen panes.

If you find any problems, please ask about them on the
python-excel*******list, or submit an issue on GitHub:

https://github.com/python-excel/xlwt/issues

There's also details of all things Python and Excel related here:
