XLRDError: Expected BOF record; found 0x4b50

Question

I don't think there is something wrong with the codes. Can you help me? I need help. Thank you!

from xlrd import open_workbook

wb = open_workbook('/pdf-ex/exc.xlsx','rb')
for s in wb.sheets():
    print 'Sheet:',s.name
    for row in range(s.nrows):
        values=[]
        for col in range(s.ncols):
            values.append(s.cell(row,col).value)
        print ",".join(values)
    print

I had the same problem and resolved it by upgrading to version 0.8.0.

Prior to that version, xlsx/xlsm were not supported.
