openpyxl >=2.4 throws use_iterators keyword argument unexpected

See original GitHub issue

Hi folks,

I am using petl 1.1.1 with openpyxl >=2.4. When executing

rows = petl.io.xlsx.fromxlsx('excel.xlsx', sheet='Sheet1')
print(rows)

I receive

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "[...]\test.py", line 9, in <module>
    print(rows)
  File "[...]\lib\site-packages\petl\util\vis.py", line 169, in _table_str
    return str(lookstr(table))
  File "[...]\lib\site-packages\petl\util\vis.py", line 104, in __repr__
    table, overflow = _vis_overflow(self.table, self.limit)
  File "[...]\lib\site-packages\petl\util\vis.py", line 528, in _vis_overflow
    table = list(islice(table, 0, limit+2))
  File "[...]\lib\site-packages\petl\io\xlsx.py", line 51, in __iter__
    use_iterators=True, **self.kwargs)
TypeError: load_workbook() got an unexpected keyword argument 'use_iterators'

A quick search via the gogler reveals, that the use_iterators keyword argument was removed as of 2.4 of openpyxl.

Workaround: use openpyxl <2.4 (e.g. 2.3.2)

Hey @alimanfoo any plans on promoting the fix to a new version into pip repository?

I am getting the same error but for a different cause: I am using docker and I am not able to put ‘git+’ on my pip requirements file, because then I will have to completely modify my image.

Since this is overdue since May, I hope that my message gives you motivation enough to push this fix to mainstream! 😉

Take care.
