[Qgis-user] Re: new xytools plugin: now open and save simple Excel files

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

The next version will not show you this python error anymore, but a
message that you have to install the python libs xlrd and xlwr...

On Ubuntu

just do

sudo apt-get install xlwt xlrd

this will install the nessecary python libraries which are needed to do
the excel reading and writing

(and you are invited to read the help from the xytools context menu :-) )

Regards,

Richard
