Switch out `xlrd` #113

Open joverlee521 opened 2 years ago

joverlee521 commented 2 years ago

Currently we have xlrd pinned to >=1.0.0, ==1.* because starting with version 2.0.0 they have removed support for anything other than .xls files.

However, this means any fauna scripts using xlrd will not work with Python 3.8 or newer. We should switch to another python package to work with Excel files.

Based on this link, maybe we can use?

import excelrd as xlrd
