title: Python library for handling Excel files (xls | xlsx)
body: <p>I need a python library that could read and write Excel files with all formats (i.e xls and xlsx).</p>
  
  <p>I'm new to python and I was using Java before. In Java I was using <a href="http://poi.apache.org/" rel="noreferrer">POI</a> library and it was perfect. I need a python library with the same functionality if possible. </p>
