+
+Currently available are:
+
+xlutils.copy
+ Tools for copying xlrd.Book objects to xlwt.Workbook objects.
+xlutils.display
+ Utility functions for displaying information about xlrd-related objects in
+ a user-friendly and safe fashion.
+xlutils.filter
+ A mini framework for splitting and filtering Excel files into new Excel
+ files.
+xlutils.margins
+ Tools for finding how much of an Excel file contains useful data.
+xlutils.save
+ Tools for serializing xlrd.Book objects back to Excel files.
+xlutils.styles
+ Tools for working with formatting information expressed in styles.
+
