Can someone give me a guide for morons? I am somewhat out of my depth here. So far I have downloaded xlrd 0.9.2 and tried to follow the readme, but neither I nor ctrl-f can find the installer mentioned.
If windows this should work. 
Browser to "folder with python"\scripts  Open cmd here (shift + right click and and it should be an option in the context menu.)
type inn: easy_install.exe xlrd
It should download and install if for you.
I'm having a lot of trouble installing xlrd 0.9.2 for python
