Package: python3-pandas
Version: 1.5.3+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: hugh.pumph...@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer,
This bug may or may not be a duplicate of #1017470 --- I am not sure.
The bug may be triggered by a python script that includes the lines
import pandas as pd
df=pd.read_excel("blah.xls")
. . . where blah.xls is a valid file in the old Excel format. Note that
df=pd.read_excel("blah.xlsx")
where blah.xlsx is a valid file in the current Excel format works fine.
I reproduce the full error message below, but the critical line is
ImportError: Pandas requires version '2.0.1' or newer of 'xlrd' (version
'1.2.0' currently installed).
So this is not really a bug in either python3-pandas or python3-xlrd; it is a
problem that Stable contains a version of xlrd which cannot be used
by the version of pandas in Stable.
Best wishes
Hugh Pumphrey

This is #1031701, which is closed because it is fixed in unstable, but
does still exist in current stable.
I agree that using pip (as described above) is a good idea if you need
to load .xls files. (This is a potential security risk because pip
lacks automatic updates, but is probably less of a security risk than
upgrading to unstable.)
xlrd can't be updated in stable itself because that could break other
packages. xlrd 2 potentially could be added to stable-backports; would
you like to request this?
