        ==================
        
        Fonts, colors and charts are not supported.
        
        Here is a typical conversation between the developer and the user::
        
         User: "I have uploaded an excel file"
               "but your application says un-supported file format"
         Developer: "Did you upload an xlsx file or a csv file?"
         User: "Well, I am not sure. I saved the data using "
               "Microsoft Excel. Surely, it must be in an excel format."
         Developer: "OK. Here is the thing. I were not told to support"
                    "all available excel formats in day 1. Live with it"
                    "or delay the project x number of days."
        
        **django-excel** is based on `pyexcel <https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel>`_ and makes
        it easy to consume/produce information stored in excel files over HTTP protocol as
        well as on file system. This library can turn the excel data into a list of lists,
        a list of records(dictionaries), dictionaries of lists. And vice versa. Hence it
        lets you focus on data in Django based web development, instead of file formats.
        
        The idea originated from the common usability problem when developing an excel file
        driven web applications for non-technical office workers: such as office assistant,
        human resource administrator. The fact is that not all people know the
        difference among various excel formats: csv, xls, xlsx. Instead of training those people
        about file formats, this library helps web developers to handle most of the excel file
        formats by providing a common programming interface. To add a specific excel file format
        to you application, all you need is to install an extra pyexcel plugin. No code change
        to your application. Looking at the community, this library and its associated ones try
        to become a small and easy to install alternative to Pandas.
        
        
        The highlighted features are:
        
        #. excel data import into and export from databases
        #. turn uploaded excel file directly into Python data structure
        #. pass Python data structures as an excel file download
        #. provide data persistence as an excel file in server side
        #. supports csv, tsv, csvz, tsvz by default and other formats are supported via
           the following plugins:
        
        .. _file-format-list:
        .. _a-map-of-plugins-and-file-formats:
        
        .. table:: A list of file formats supported by external plugins

        In order to manage the list of plugins installed, you need to use pip to add or remove
        a plugin. When you use virtualenv, you can have different plugins per virtual
        environment. In the situation where you have multiple plugins that does the same thing
        in your environment, you need to tell pyexcel which plugin to use per function call.
        For example, pyexcel-ods and pyexcel-odsr, and you want to get_array to use pyexcel-odsr.
        You need to append get_array(..., library='pyexcel-odsr').

        .. [#f1] zipped csv file
        .. [#f2] zipped tsv file
        
        
        This library makes information processing involving various excel files as easy as
        processing array, dictionary when processing file upload/download, data import into
        and export from SQL databases, information analysis and persistence. It uses
        **pyexcel** and its plugins:
        
        #. to provide one uniform programming interface to handle csv, tsv, xls, xlsx, xlsm and ods formats.
        #. to provide one-stop utility to import the data in uploaded file into a database and to export tables in a database as excel files for file download.
        #. to provide the same interface for information persistence at server side: saving a uploaded excel file to and loading a saved excel file from file system.

            from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
            from django.http import HttpResponseBadRequest
            from django import forms
            from django.template import RequestContext
            import django_excel as excel
            
            class UploadFileForm(forms.Form):
                file = forms.FileField()
            
            def upload(request):
                if request.method == "POST":
                    form = UploadFileForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
                    if form.is_valid():
                        filehandle = request.FILES['file']
                        return excel.make_response(filehandle.get_sheet(), "csv")
                    else:
                        return HttpResponseBadRequest()
                else:
                    form = UploadFileForm()
                return render_to_response('upload_form.html',
                                          {'form': form},
                                          context_instance=RequestContext(request))
            
            def download(request):
                sheet = excel.pe.Sheet([[1, 2],[3, 4]])
                return excel.make_response(sheet, "csv")

        Development guide
        ================================================================================
        
        Development steps for code changes
        
        #. git clone https://github.com/pyexcel/django-excel.git
        #. cd django-excel
        
        Upgrade your setup tools and pip. They are needed for development and testing only:
        
        #. pip install --upgrade setuptools pip
        
        Then install relevant development requirements:
        
        #. pip install -r rnd_requirements.txt # if such a file exists
        #. pip install -r requirements.txt
        #. pip install -r tests/requirements.txt
        
        Once you have finished your changes, please provide test case(s), relevant documentation
        and update CHANGELOG.rst.
        
        .. note::
        
            As to rnd_requirements.txt, usually, it is created when a dependent
        	library is not released. Once the dependecy is installed
        	(will be released), the future
        	version of the dependency in the requirements.txt will be valid.
        
        
        How to test your contribution
        ------------------------------
        
        Although `nose` and `doctest` are both used in code testing, it is adviable that unit tests are put in tests. `doctest` is incorporated only to make sure the code examples in documentation remain valid across different development releases.
        
        On Linux/Unix systems, please launch your tests like this::
        
            $ make
        
        On Windows systems, please issue this command::
        
            > test.bat
        
        How to update test environment and update documentation
        ---------------------------------------------------------
        
        Additional steps are required:
        
        #. pip install moban
        #. git clone https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel-commons.git commons
        #. make your changes in `.moban.d` directory, then issue command `moban`
        
        What is pyexcel-commons
        ---------------------------------
        
        Many information that are shared across pyexcel projects, such as: this developer guide, license info, etc. are stored in `pyexcel-commons` project.
        
        What is .moban.d
        ---------------------------------
        
        `.moban.d` stores the specific meta data for the library.
