# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- 
import  xdrlib ,sys
import xlrd

file = 'D://yuanchangyou//yuqing.xls'
try:
    data = xlrd.open_workbook(file,encoding_override='utf-8')
    return data
except Exception as e:
    print (str(e))empty

2、报错信息

Unsupported format, or corrupt file: Expected BOF record; found b'



3、问题原因

参阅了网上资料: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9623029/python-xlrd-unsupported-format-or-corrupt-file

有一段这样的话:

However as the error message says, the first 8 bytes of the file are '

 ... that is definitely not Excel .xls format. Open it with a text editor (e.g. Notepad) that won't take any notice of the (incorrect) .xls extension and see for yourself.

意思是说,这个文件不是个excel文件,虽然以.xls结尾,但是内部格式不对,不信你用文本编辑器打开看看,
结果我打开是这样的:
Python读取excel报Unsupported format, or corrupt file: Expected BOF record; found b'_第1张图片


而正常的xls文件是这样的:

Python读取excel报Unsupported format, or corrupt file: Expected BOF record; found b'_第2张图片
4、结论
文中提到  Could have been saved as XML Spreadsheet (*.xml) (not supported by xlrd)
是xlrd不支持这种方式的excel文件
