Answer 1

I have python 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6 in my linux Mint machine for some reasons.

My spyder uses python 3.5 and I had the same issue. What I have done is

• go to the folder /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
• Copy the folder xlrd (Note that to do this action you have right click and open as root)
• Now go to the /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages or /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages and paste the folder xlrd over there.

It worked for me!!!

This method does not change the default path so that, I can still continue with python 2.7 without any harm(something like SageMath which I use extensively)
