Generally I work with CSV files but for this project I need to support XLS too. Does anyone have experience reading XLS files on GAE with Python?
2 possible alternatives I am considering:

A:
xlrd saves you the network round-trip implied by the use of Google Docs; if you don't need to keep the document stored (which would be a substantial plus for Google Docs), this might incline you towards xlrd. I believe they're both high-quality.
However, for both speed and accuracy of "translation", there's really no alternative to benchmarking them both on a range of files reflecting your specific needs and interests.

What about a java library?

@Manjoor, I suggest you open a separate question with the proper tags, so that Java-on-GAE will see it and respond.

@Manjoor, then maybe the answer is "no" -- after all, it's always hard to give a "there is no such library" response with certainty, but if nobody knows of one, then maybe there isn't.
