xlrd package

[capyy]

Hello Jonathan,

I tried to import Excel data in Pandas (with : pd.read_excel) and got :
ImportError: No module named 'xlrd'

xlrd is not in your repo and also tried from conda but no success :
PackageNotFoundError: Package not found: '' Package missing in current linux-armv7l channels:

• xlrd

Thanks !!
(Thanks for you very useful repo on a Pi !! great time saver)

I have not yet built xlrd for the Raspberry Pi. It looks like conda-forge has a xlrd feedstock which can serve as a source of the rpi recipe. My collections of Pi's that I use for building packages are getting some updates (new SD cards!) so it might take a few days for me to get to this. I'll add to this issue with updates.

I built the xlrd package and uploaded to the rpi channel for Python 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6. Both armv6l and armv7v package are available. You will need to install this in addition to pandas as it is not a required dependency.
