This is probably a simple question to most of you, but here goes.
I've downloaded the xlrd (version 0.6.1) module and placed in in the
site-packages folder. Now, when I write a script, I type:
import sys
import xlrd
When I run it, there is an import error saying there is no module
named xlrd. However when I type sys.path, the site-packages folder is
definitely in the path. Do I somehow need to run the xlrd setup.py
first before importing?
Any help would be appreciated.
From the xlrd home-page (
http://www.lexicon.net/sjmachin/xlrd.htm):
"""
Installation:
* Windows only: download and run this installer
xlrd-0.6.1.win32.exe. Any platform: download this ZIP file
xlrd-0.6.1.zip which you unzip into a suitable directory, then cd to
that directory, and do "python setup.py install".
"""
From the xlrd README file:
"""
Installation:
* On Windows: use the installer.
* Any OS: Unzip the .zip file into a suitable directory, chdir to
that directory, then do "python setup.py install".
* If PYDIR is your Python installation directory: the main files
are in PYDIR/Lib/site-packages/xlrd (except for Python 2.1 where they
will be in PYDIR/xlrd), the docs are in the doc subdirectory, and
there's a sample script: PYDIR/Scripts/runxlrd.py
* If os.sep != "/": make the appropriate adjustments.
