Installation

The easiest way to install xlwings is via pip:

pip install xlwings

Alternatively, it can be installed from source. From within the xlwings directory, execute:

python setup.py install

Dependencies

  • Windows: pywin32
  • Mac: psutil, appscript

Note that on Mac, the dependencies are automatically being handled if xlwings is installed with pip. However, the Xcode command line tools need to be available.

On Windows, it is recommended to use one of the scientific Python distributions like Anaconda, WinPython or Canopy as they already include pywin32. Otherwise it needs to be installed from here.

Python version support

xlwings runs on Python 2.6-2.7 and 3.1-3.4
