* openpyxl version 1.6.1 or higher, for writing .xlsx files
* xlrd >= 0.9.0
* Needed for Excel I/O
* `lxml <http://lxml.de>`__, or `Beautiful Soup 4 <http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup>`__: for reading HTML tables
* The differences between lxml and Beautiful Soup 4 are mostly speed (lxml
is faster), however sometimes Beautiful Soup returns what you might
intuitively expect. Both backends are implemented, so try them both to
see which one you like. They should return very similar results.
* Note that lxml requires Cython to build successfully
* `boto <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/boto>`__: necessary for Amazon S3 access.
