can we replace tablib dependency with pyexcel

See original GitHub issue

The downside of using tablib are that all data is processed in-memory. It is not good for large datasets. Can we replace the dependency with pyexcel.

Thanks @jnoortheen for the transparency. And I agree, its a major change that will require multiple changes.

However, if someone wants to get started, they could start with one piece of functionality and move it to a pluggable backend. No need to have settings or anything. If I get some time soon, I will try to come up with a little working example, as this sounds like a fun challenge. 😍

@rhunwicks I think a backend architecture will work in this. using any one of available dependency. Pandas still has difficulty installing and finding the runtime dependencies in some operating systems. A pure Python package is truly portable.
