Re: import xls(x) into org on MacOS

[Nick Savage]

If you're looking to go the python route of importing an xls file, you 
could try the xlrd package. It's actually just for xls. I'm not sure if 
it converts to csv, but once you have the spreadsheet open in python 
that should be a pretty trivial exercise.

Cheers,

Nick
