Python convert (read & save) excel xlsx to xls
<p>How can I convert an existing <code>xlsx</code> Excel file into <code>xls</code> while retaining my Excel file formatting? I use Anaconda Python 3, so I'm not sure I can use <code>xlutils</code>... I was not able to install it via <code>conda install xlutils</code> because of lots of incompatibilities. So now I use this code without the <code>xlutils.copy()</code>:</p>

<pre><code>import xlrd, xlwt

wb = xlrd.open_workbook(my_xlsx_excel_file)
# wb = xlutils.copy(wb)
wb.save(my_xlsx_excel_file[:-1])
</code></pre>

<p>And I get this error:</p>

<pre><code>AttributeError: 'Book' object has no attribute 'save'
</code></pre>

<p>Thank you!</p>
