[BUG] Issues running Covid19 notebook on Binder - xlrd package #117

Closed kevinxufs closed 3 years ago

kevinxufs commented 3 years ago

Bug description

When running the notebook, code snippet [5] on index of multiple deprivation we get the following error:

ValueError: Your version of xlrd is 2.0.1. In xlrd >= 2.0, only the xls format is supported. Install openpyxl instead.

This leads to the rest of the analysis not working.

Expected behaviour

That the data would be read in and output as a dataframe for later use. I assume this might be fixed by adding the relevant package mentioned (openpyxl)

Actual behaviour

The error mentioned above.

ValueError: Your version of xlrd is 2.0.1. In xlrd >= 2.0, only the xls format is supported. Install openpyxl instead.

How to reproduce

The laptop I am using has not downloaded anything (e.g. Python) and is relying entirely on the binder environment.
