title: How do I open an Excel macro-enabled workbook from Python WITHOUT enabling macros?
body: <p>I am trying to quickly read through a bunch of Excel reports using a Python program. The problem is that because of the software used to create these Excel files, they are all macro-enabled and opening any one of them from Python will automatically enable the macros and launch the third-party software.</p>
  
  <p>If I open any one of these workbooks manually, I can choose NOT to enable macros, and thereby NOT launch the third party software, but still read the report. This is what I want my Python program to do.</p>
  
  <p>Is there an option using win32com.Dispatch for the Open() method that specifically states whether I want to enable macros?</p>
