xlrd 0.7.4 released!

[Chris Withers]

Hi All,

I'm pleased to announce the release of xlrd 0.7.4.

This release features the following changes:

- Fixed a bug where xlrd was silently truncating long text formula results

- Avoid parsing STYLE records when formatting_info=False

- More tolerance of out-of-spec files.

- Minor performance improvements.

cheers,

Chris

There seems to have been a mistake during release of 0.7.4: version.txt referenced in setup.py:24 is missing (forgot MANIFEST?) and therefore the package can't be installed.

Getting distribution for 'xlrd'.
error: /var/folders/_l/m3y541vx5m1dzgjm6rjljf5w0000gn/T/easy_install-KeGyEg/xlrd-0.7.4/xlrd/version.txt: No such file or directory
An error occured when trying to install xlrd 0.7.4. Look above this message for any errors that were output by easy_install.

Regards,

Lukas

*sigh*

As pointed out, I stuffed up the release by not including a new file in
the MANIFEST. My bad.

I've just release a 0.7.5 that fixes this.

cheers,

Chris

Maybe it's just me, but I tried to upgrade my previous versions of xlrd, xlwt, an xlutils and now some of the modules aren't loading properly.

I am currently using Portable Python 2.7 at this workstation.

I ran "easy_install --upgrade xlrd" and the result said it had updated. If I try to update again, it says it's already there.

When I try to import xlrd, I get an error

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\josh\\Desktop\\Portable Python\\App\\lib\\site-packages\\xlrd-0.7.5-py2.7.egg\\xlrd\\version.txt'

I also noticed that in my Site Packages folder, I have xlrd-0.7.1-py2.7-win32.egg as an egg file, but xlrd-0.7.5-py2.7.egg as a folder.

This in on a Windows 7 machine.

I didn't think EGG files could be folders. Is there a change in the way the EGG file was meant to be distributed?

Interesting the below seemed to have got lost on way to Google Groups:

*sigh* I hate python packaging, I'll get a 0.7.6 release out this
morning which will hopefully finally fix this...

Eggs have always been installed as folders.

Except it didn't, I've just released 0.7.6, which will hopefully bring
an end to the brown-bagging.

Any more problems, please let the [hidden email] mailing

I have no recollection of this.

If you experience any bugs, the correct place to report them is:

Ah Keith,

I just check this is only for xlsx format so I will make 2 code branches
so I don't have to modify the xlrd one for xls binary file.
I will use both in the same program.
Many thanks

Cheers
