PyCall is throwing an error in combination with Excelreaders

[IljaK91]

Here is the error message, it pops up when I use readxlsheet:

PyCall.PyError("ccall(@pysym(:PyObject_Call), PyPtr, (PyPtr, PyPtr, PyPtr), o, arg, C_NULL)", PyCall.PyObject(Ptr{PyCall.PyObject_struct} @0x000000001eab2e60), PyCall.PyObject(Ptr{PyCall.PyObject_struct} @0x0000000023c6f2b0), PyCall.PyObject(Ptr{PyCall.PyObject_struct} @0x0000000023c5fb48))

EDIT: Works fine after I substituted the full path for my file instead of just the filename. Is there a reason for why that stopped working?

Are you sure the current directory is the correct one before you call readxlsheet with just a filename? You can check the current directory with pwd().

Thanks, changing the current directory was what I needed to do!
