Python Xlrd read excel file error

问题

I have been working on a script on Windows and now when changing the platform to Linux/Ubuntu I am having some issues. In the example below I am just trying to print the sheetnames but receicing some errors which I have never seen before. May this be a issue with Xlrd ? Because I am able to open the Excel file in Libreoffice.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python
import xlrd

xl_workbook = xlrd.open_workbook('/home/ubuntu/Downloads/usage01.12.2015_31.12.2015.xls')

sheet_names = xl_workbook.sheet_names()
print('Sheet Names', sheet_names)

Error:

    0  5 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
   20  4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
   40= 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
   60  4 4 3 2

回答1:

If you need data from a remote service, it's a hack, but commenting out line 418 (raise CompDocError("%s corruption: seen[%d] == %d" % (qname, s, self.seen[s]))) in compdoc.py seems to work okay.

Also look into this documentation source
