First of all, I've never worked with Python before - but I'll tell you how I did this in C++.

I've used cURL to make a GET request to the google documents API. The binary data of the file was returned and I wrote that to a file. Now I had the XLS file and then I used a C/C++ library that could read XLS files to manipulate the downloaded file. The API that I used supported a variety of options; you could do anything that you could do in Excel. After modification I uploaded it again to Google Docs.
