No external requirements. Supports Python versions 2.6+ and 3.2+.

Usage

book = Workbook('filename or filedescriptor') #Open xlsx file
for sheet in book:
    print sheet.name
    # for larger workbooks, use sheet.rowsIter() instead of
    # sheet.rows().iteritems()
    for row, cells in sheet.rows().iteritems(): # or sheet.cols()
        print row # prints row number
        for cell in cells:
            print cell.id, cell.value, cell.formula
