Add a check to see if the list is empty before trying to access it's
contents. If an excel file has an overridden relationship with no word
"book" in the name it will attempt to grab the first item of an empty
list when looking up workbook relationships.
IndexError: list index out of range
There could be a better fix to this issue I'm not well enough versed in
the xslx specification. The following xlsx file caused the issue.
In [Content_types].xml it is overriding the relationships to point at
_rels/.rels rather than xl/_rels/workbook.xml.rels. This causes the
workbook_relationships list to be empty causes the error mentioned
above. One can see that it does indeed have a workbook relationship,
however it is being overridden.
