> ValueError: unknown url type: List ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I don't xlrd, but: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-urllib2.html urlopen( url[, data]) Open the URL url, which can be either a string or a Request object. data should be a string, which specifies additional data to send to the server. In HTTP requests, which are the only ones that support data, it should be a buffer in the format of application/x-www-form-urlencoded, for example one returned from urllib.urlencode().
