Although I read in one of the answers on one of the other issues that 'it does not harm' I think this [hate-mode on] is a very lame answer and [/hate-mode] should be solved. This is python3.4 bdw.

[srugano]

I have the same issue. And think it should be handled well, not let this tracebacks appear on the screen.

I have (now had) same issue using tablib 0.11.4 under python3.5. /win7
In my case it was the package inside the ..site-packages/tablib/pakages/xlrd which is not compatible with python 3.x.
I copied the xlrd from \Python35-32\Lib\site-packages\xlrd into and replaced \Python35-32\Lib\site-packages/tablib/pakages/xlrd with this copy
and it works.
So it seems tablib is not properly built for python3

Following work on #273, this ticket will resolve by itself.

[claudep]

Should be fixed by now, hopefully.
