Currently scadnano uses a library xlwt specifically for exporting to older Excel files ending in .xls, which once was all IDT's website could read for uploading plates described by Excel files.
.xls
Now IDT can read the newer format, meaning we can use a newer and easier-to-use package, for instance openpyxl: https://www.python-excel.org/.
