Using PyExcelerator

I have just installed PyExcelerator, and now want to use it to read
Excel spreadsheets with a variable number of rows and columns and with
multiple sheets. Unfortunately, no documentation seems to accompany
PyExcelerator. Does anyone know of a good source of documentations
and/or examples? The author provides some examples, but these tend to
involve writing data into spreadsheets one cell at a time.

Thomas,
Look at pyExcelerator's tools/xls2*.py for examples
or
Look at the xlrd package (which doesn't *write* xls files, but does read
them tolerably well -- even if I do say so myself -- and has documentation).

What do you mean by "with a variable number of rows and columns"?

Cheers,
John
