A light weight, zero dependency (only standard libs used), to the point (no bells and whistles) Microsoft Excel reader/writer python 2.7.18 - 3+ library.
Zero non-standard library dependencies No compatibility/version control issues.
Light-weight single source code file that supports both Python3 and Python2.7.18. Single source file that can easily be copied directly into a project for true zero-dependency. Great for those that have installation/download restrictions. In addition the library's size and zero dependency makes this library pyinstaller compilation small and easy!
