    biff_version = bk.getbof(XL_WORKBOOK_GLOBALS)
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\xlrd\__init__.py", line 1323, in
getbof
    raise XLRDError('Expected BOF record; found 0x%04x' % opcode)
xlrd.biffh.XLRDError: Expected BOF record; found 0x3f3c*
Looks like your a.xls file is not an Excel file (one of the formats supported by xlrd). 
As 0x3f3c corresponds to the characters '<?' you probably have an XML file.
