Extracting Hyperlinks From Excel (.xlsx) with Python

Question

I have been looking at mostly the xlrd and openpyxl libraries for Excel file manipulation. However, xlrd currently does not support formatting_info=True for .xl

Answer 1

A successful solution I've worked with is to install unoconv on the server and implement a method that invokes this command line tool via the subprocess module to convert the file from xlsx to xls since hyperlink_map.get() works with xls.
