(See Bug #1031701). As it is a really common workflow to use pandas to read excel files, it'd be nice if the version of xlrd in bookworm was compatible. Because of the freeze I wanted to check if it was appropriate to upload the new version, and what kind of warning I should give to the other developers. THe xlrd changelog says the biggest change in going from 1.2 to 2.0 was they removed the ability to read the newer XML excel files .xslx from xlrd in favor of using openpyxl I updated the source package python-xlrd to 2.0.1 and sent it through experimental, where there were no issues detected by packages that had CI tests. Unfortunately there's packages without tests. Here's the list of packages I found that have any relationship to python-xlrd, if it looked like the autopkgtests actually tested using the xlrd library and what the level of declared dependency is. (none means the package lacks autopackage tests) | nemo | none | Recommends | | odoo-14 | none | Depends | | ofxstatement-plugins | none | Depends | | psychopy | unlikely | Depends | | python3-agateexcel | yes | Depends | | python3-canmatrix | no | Recommends | | python3-drslib | no | Recommends | | python3-glue | yes | Depends | | python3-pyspectral | probably | Suggests | | python3-rows | unlikely | Recommends | | python3-tablib | unlikely | Depends | | visidata | none | Build-Depends | | vistrails | none | Build-Depends | | python-xrt | none | Build-Depends | | pyutilib | none | Build-Depends | Thanks Diane
