Description
Openpyxl is a Python library designed for reading and writing Excel 2010 files in formats such as xlsx, xlsm, xltx, and xltm. The library was developed due to the absence of a native solution for handling Office Open XML files in Python, and it owes its origins to the PHPExcel project. It is important to note that openpyxl does not provide protection against certain vulnerabilities like quadratic blowup or billion laughs XML attacks by default, but these risks can be mitigated by installing the defusedxml library. To install openpyxl, you can use pip, and it's recommended to perform this installation within a Python virtual environment to avoid conflicts with system packages. In some instances, you may want to work with a specific version of the library, especially if there are fixes that have not yet been released officially. Fortunately, you do not need to create an actual file on your filesystem to begin using openpyxl; simply import the Workbook class and begin your tasks. When you create sheets, they are automatically assigned names, and once you rename a worksheet, you can access it using the corresponding key from the workbook. This ease of use makes openpyxl a popular choice for many Python developers working with Excel files.
Description
Pexpect enhances the functionality of Python when it comes to managing other applications. This pure Python library excels at spawning child processes, overseeing them, and reacting to predefined output patterns. Similar to Don Libes’ Expect, Pexpect allows your scripts to interact with child applications as if a human were entering commands. It is particularly useful for automating the control of interactive applications such as ssh, FTP, passwd, and telnet. Additionally, Pexpect can facilitate the automation of setup scripts, making it easier to replicate software package installations across various servers. It is also valuable for conducting automated software testing. While Pexpect is inspired by the principles of Expect, it is entirely implemented in Python, setting it apart from other similar modules. Notably, Pexpect does not necessitate the use of TCL or Expect, nor does it require the compilation of C extensions. This feature makes it versatile across any platform that supports Python's standard pty module. The user-friendly design of the Pexpect interface ensures ease of use for developers. Overall, Pexpect stands out as an effective tool for automating and controlling various applications seamlessly.
