title: manipulating excel 2007 files using python
body: <p>Using python I need to be able to do the following operations to a workbook for excel 2007:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>delete rows</li>
  <li>sorting a worksheet</li>
  <li>getting distinct values from a column</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I am looking into <a href="http://packages.python.org/openpyxl/index.html#" rel="nofollow">openpyxl</a>; however, it seems to have limited capabilities.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone please recommend a library that can do the above tasks?</p>
