This is probably a simple question to most of you, but here goes.
I've downloaded the xlrd (version 0.6.1) module and placed in in the
site-packages folder. Now, when I write a script, I type:
import sys
import xlrd
When I run it, there is an import error saying there is no module
named xlrd. However when I type sys.path, the site-packages folder is
definitely in the path. Do I somehow need to run the xlrd setup.py
first before importing?
Any help would be appreciated.

On what system? Windows or Unix? Which download? The exe or the zip?
I'm guessing you downloaded the zip file on a Unix or Linux system. If
so, you should not copy the files into the site-package directory
yourself. You are supposed to use the included setup.py file like this:
unzip into some local directory
cd into that directory
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
Then your import should work fine.
