| worksheet2.xlsx | both | a spreadsheet with functions in the "total" row |
| xlrdTest.py | both | uses xlrd to enumerate the contents of worksheet1.xlsx |

Install Prerequisites (Ubuntu Linux)
sudo apt install python pip python-opencv python-xlrd python-gtk2-dev
Install Prerequisites (Windows 10)
Install Python for Windows
Add the location of python.exe to your PATH environment variable
Download get-pip.py and run it in command prompt:
python get-pip.py
Add the location of pip.exe to your PATH environment variable
Run this in a command prompt
pip install pypiwin32
pip install xlrd
pip install openpyxl
Download the latest OpenCV whl (wheel) file from here then install it like this:
pip install opencv_python-3.2.0-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl
Might need Visual C++ 2015 redistributable (vc_redist.x86.exe) for OpenCV
