> Latest version of openpyxl doesn’t support python 2.7. I downloaded the last version that supports it and am using it successfully - version 2.6.4. Only issue is that is uses SAX XML parser, which isn’t available in Vision, only in Designer. So, having to run scripts on Gateway instead of Client.
