The Golden Helmet

''—that this piece we have now before us, which this worthy gentleman has in his hands, not only is no barber's basin, but is as far from being one as white is from black, and truth from falsehood; I say, moreover, that this, although it is a helmet, is not a complete helmet.''

—Cervantes, Don Quixote

''The Golden Helmet'' is a 32-page funny animal comic book adventure story written, drawn, and lettered by Carl Barks.

Linkblog: Python + Excel

Aug 21, 2016

Stuff I found out this week: There exists multiple Python libraries for reading / handling Excel sheets:

python-excel.org lists them all
xlrd is a pure Python implementation for *.xls files, should work on ‘nixes
openpyxl is the recommended option for *xlsx (Excel 2010) files
note: Anaconda ships xlwings by default, but that is supported only on Win/Os X.
