There is a fix here, I think: https://bitbucket.org/mozman/xlwt3/pull-request/1/fix-slots-for-python-33-compatability/diff

from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18498573/error-in-formula-py-in-xlwt3-python

Yep, that fixes it, but then I get another error:

This project is in a bit of a crisis state — it's really useful, and I use regularly. However, I wrote it several years ago and haven't touched it since. In order to get the project into a stable state I'm closing all issues and pull requests to get a "fresh slate"

Don't take this as aggressive — it's just necessary for the project to make any progress any time soon (it's pretty clear the project is effectively unmaintained at the moment). Great things to come! Please watch the GitHub logs and feel free to re-open this discussion soon. I just need to really it into a good state first.

Thanks Kenneth for such a clear statement.

Everyone else, it would appear the library now works with Python 3.2 (but not Python 3.3) https://travis-ci.org/kennethreitz/tablib

[iurisilvio]

It works in Python 3.3 too. Travis is broken because the test expects json data with ordered keys, so only the test is broken and should be fixed.

[alex]

It would be great to get a version of this released onto pypi.

Hi Iuri. Yesterday I tried pip install tablib on Python 3.3 (Windows) and
it failed with a syntax error. Please could you push a Python 3 compatible
release to PyPI? Appears the last release was in 2011
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tablib/

Thanks for your work

I don't have access to do it, but I will poke kenneth to make it happen.
