NameError: global name 'eprint' is not defined

See original GitHub issue

Hey, we are using xlsx2csv to import sheets and it generally works fine. Recently, while trying to upload a specific sheet we got the following error:

File "/home/rof/.pyenv/versions/2.7.16/bin/xlsx2csv", line 817, in handleCharData
     eprint("Error: potential invalid date format.")
 NameError: global name 'eprint' is not defined

We moved the eprint method at the top of the file, and the script worked with only a warning as I assume was intended, but I am not sure if that is a correct solution?

thanks ac

  File "/usr/bin/xlsx2csv", line 803, in handleCharData
    self.data = ("%f" % (float(self.data))).rstrip('0').rstrip('.')
