Update Excel support #5407

Closed rowanseymour closed 2 weeks ago

rowanseymour commented 1 month ago

Currently to read contact imports we use pyexcel + pyexcel-xls + pyexcel-xlsx (wraps openpyxl) + xlrd. The only project in that list that appears to be actively maintained is openpyxl. And because of an incompatibility between latest pyexcel and latest xlrd.. we're stuck on a version of xlrd from 2018.

I propose we ditch .xls support, all imports must be .xlsx, and just use openpyxl.
