Hi Pablo,

Thanks very much for the pull request. It has highlighted a couple of other problems too. I'm in the process of fixing these now...

[goinnn]

@edschofield Thanks!

[edschofield]

Oops, it seems distutils doesn't support install_requires::

(xlwt_env)user@pythoncharmers:~/Code/xlwt$ python setup.py install
/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'install_requires'
  warnings.warn(msg)

It might be time for an upgrade to setuptools. (The original xlwt didn't need it because it didn't have any dependencies.)

[goinnn]

@edschofield works on my machine... :-(

But if with distutils this does not works remove this line (install_requires)
