How do you read excel files with xlrd on Appengine

Question

I am using xlrd in appengine. I use flask

I cant read the input file and it keeps on showing the same error message

the code is

def read_rows(inp         


        

Answer 1

Use:

wb = xlrd.open_workbook(file_contents=inputfile)

The way you are invoking open_workbook expects what you're passing in to be a filename, not a Flask FileStorage object wrapping the actual file.
