xlwings PRO Overview

The purpose of xlwings PRO is to finance the continued maintenance and enhancement of xlwings. This will allow you to rely on the package without being left with the dreaded “this library currently has no active maintainers” message that happens to too many open-source packages after a couple of years.

xlwings PRO offers access to additional functionality. All PRO features are marked with xlwings PRO in the docs.

Note

To get access to the additional functionality of xlwings PRO, you need a (trial) license key and at least xlwings v0.19.0. Everything under the xlwings.pro subpackage is distributed under a commercial license. To make use of xlwings PRO functionality beyond the trial, you will need to subscribe to one of our paid plans.
