title: xlrd library not working with xlsx files.any way to covert xlsx to xls using python?
body: <p>I want to convert xlsx file to xls format using python. The reason is that im using xlrd library to parse xls files, but xlrd is not able to parse xlsx files.
  Switching to a different library is not feasible for me at this stage, as the entire project is using xlrd, so a lot of changes will be required.
  So, is there any way i can programatically convert an xlsx file to xls using python ?</p>
  
  <p>Please Help
  Thank You</p>
