A light weight, zero dependency (only standard libs used), to the point (no bells and whistles) Microsoft Excel reader/writer python 2.7-3+ library.
Why pylightxl over pandas/openpyxl
- (compatibility +1, small lib +1) pylightxl has no external dependencies (only uses python built-in standard libs). (compatibility +1) pylightxl was written to be compatible for python 2.7-3+ under one single pylightxl version. It does not impose rules on users to switch versions.
- (small lib +1) pylightxl was written to simply read/write, thereby making the library small without any bells or whistles which makes it easy to compile with PyInstaller and other packagers
- (user friendly +1) pylightxl was written to be as pythonic and easy to use as possible. Core developers actively survey Stack Overflow questions on working with excel files to tailor the API for most common problems.
- (see xlrd before pylightxl) Note that the xlrd library is very similar in values to pylightxl, but with much more functionality! Please take a look at xlrd to see if it is a good fit for your project. So why pick pylightxl over xlrd that has much more to offer? Currently, xlrd does not have any active developers. Pylightxl is a new library aimed to help solve current excel data issues (as surveyed by Stack Overflow), please submit your suggestions to help improve this library together.

I personally love Gooey and have it installed in almost every project lately. Gooey turns (almost) any Python command line program into a full GUI application with one line.
I have also done a tutorial blog post on Gooey as well at: https://jackmckew.dev/making-executable-guis-with-python-gooey-pyinstaller.html

PySimpleGUI enables anyone with a week of PySimpleGUI education or more to develop an entirely custom desktop GUI application. The underlying GUI frameworks supported include tkinter, Qt, WxPython and Remi. PySimpleGUI code can be run on any of these underlying frameworks with little or often no modification to the source code.
Unlike other simplified GUI packages, PySimpleGUI has a rich palette of widgets that are not dumbed down and can be assembled into any configuration desired, resulting in applications that look and operate as if written directly in tkinter, Qt, etc. Simple defines the ease of writing the programs, not the class of problems that are capable of being solved. 100's of demo programs are provided to give programmers a jump start on integrating with other packages such as OpenCV, Matplotlib. There are over 500 GitHub projects currently using PySimpleGUI.
A couple recent projects include:
A series of Rainmeter-style "Desktop Widgets": https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI-Widgets
A photo and video colorizer: https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI-Photo-Colorizer
