title: Opening corrupted Excel file with Python via COM interface
body: <p>I'm trying to open an excel file using COM interface in Python.
  Normally it's easy but this time I have problem with opening the file that is corrupted.
  Error I get looks like this (partially in Polish):</p>
  
  <pre><code>com_error: (-2147352567, 'Wyst\xb9pi\xb3 wyj\xb9tek.', (0, u'Microsoft Excel', u'Open method of Workbooks class failed', u'xlmain11.chm', 0, -2146827284), None)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I coped with such problem previously in VBA by using additional parameter <code>corruptload:=xlRepairFile</code> in Open method.
  Do you have any idea how to do it in Python? </p>
  
  <p>Below code doesn't work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>excel.Workbooks.Open(latest_file, CorruptLoad = "xlRepairFile")
  </code></pre>
