Python Pandas dataframe reading exact specified range in an excel sheet

Question

I have a lot of different table (and other unstructured data in an excel sheet) .. I need to create a dataframe out of range \'A3:D20\' from \'Sheet2\' of Excel sheet \'data

Answer 1

my answer with pandas O.25 tested and worked well

pd.read_excel('resultat-elections-2012.xls', sheet_name = 'France entière T1T2', skiprows = 2,  nrows= 5, usecols = 'A:H')
pd.read_excel('resultat-elections-2012.xls', index_col = None, skiprows= 2, nrows= 5, sheet_name='France entière T1T2', usecols=range(0,8))

So : i need data after two first lines ; selected desired lines (5) and col A to H.
Be carefull @shane answer's need to be improved and updated with the new parameters of Pandas
