It looks like the library xlrd supports extracting data from xls. From a brief look at the API it should be possible to provide wrapper functions for getting petl tables to/from xls files via xlrd. The logical thing to do would probably be add a petlx.xls module with functions fromxls and toxls, or refactor so that fromxls, fromxlsx, toxls, toxlsx all end up in a petlx.excel module.
Implementation of fromxls provided in #44, TODO add documentation and minimal test cases.
Added minimal documentation and test cases.
Add support for working directly with Excel (XLS) files, probably via xlrd.
