reading Excel data

Naor, OleFileIO is only meant to parse the OLE2 structure, not the binary streams inside which are different for each application (MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc). Here are a few potential solutions:

Write your own parser on top of OleFileIO, following MS specifications.
pyExcelerator - to create and read Excel files
xlwt (a new fork of pyExcelerator) - not sure it can parse files
xlrd - to read Excel files
xlutils - tools based on xlrd and xlwt
or ask your question on http://groups.google.com/group/python-excel
