Reading from excel using python
<p>I am reading a excel file using xlrd and writing the data to a file. Now the problem I am facing is that in the file I get the integer data from excel as float and where I have someting like 000123 it gets truncated to 123. </p>

<p>I want to read the values from cells and write it in same format in the file.
Is there a way i can read the excel cells as text everywhere ?</p>

<p>Please suggest proper way to do this.</p>
