Right, the only API change between 0.6 and 0.9 is the removal of the
'pickleable' parameter to open_workbook. However, this was removed
because it hadn't worked in a long long time.

xlrd 0.9 and above works with both python2 and python3 as-is.

I would suggest just going for 0.9.2.

There aren't any, because there are no changes. Applications written for
0.6.x will still work without change when using 0.9.2.

The Python 3 support is greatly appreciated. I've started using the xlrd package recently, and it's made the life of a few of my coworkers incrementally easier. -- Neil Cerutti
