Eclipse Xlrd, Xlwt Import Error

I downloaded the latest Enthought EPD python distribution (academic), which comes with python 2.7. I am using Eclipse as my IDE. Eclipse is set up to use this instance of Python.

Solution 1:

Yes, indeed, "someone" helped you with the answer.

It's nothing to do with xlrd, xlwt, xlutils, or Eclipse.

Answer : Don't do that. Rename your script directory to foo_examples or foo_scripts or suchlike.
