title: xlrd import issue with Python 2.7
body: <p>I have an assignment to read excel data in Python. I have Python 2.7 installed. I tried installing xlrd0.8.0 with the following commands in Windows.</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Python27\xlrd-0.8.0&gt;python setup.py build
  running build
  running build_py
  creating build
  creating build\lib
  creating build\lib\xlrd
  copying xlrd\biffh.py -&gt; build\lib\xlrd
  ....
  
  
  C:\Python27\xlrd-0.8.0&gt;python setup.py install
  running install
  running build
  running build_py
  running build_scripts
  running install_lib
  running install_scripts
  running install_egg_info
  Writing C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\xlrd-0.8.0-py2.7.egg-info
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't get any error message while installing. I also see xlrd-0.8.0 folder in site-packages in /lib folder...</p>
  
  <p>But when I try to import it, Python is not able to recognize it...</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import xlrd
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "&lt;pyshell#2&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
  import xlrd
  ImportError: No module named xlrd
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can you suggest how to find the issue? </p>
