<p>Takes an excel file, dumps out a series of CSV files (one for each sheet, named for the file and sheet) and a YAML file (an array of sheets, each sheet a dict containing the table_name and the table_data, a 2-d array of cell values).</p>
<p>Inspired by Bryan Niederberger's "Easy Cross Platform Excel Parsing With Xlrd", <a href="http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/483742" rel="nofollow">http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/483742</a> As opposed to his code, this script makes no attempt to understand the structure of the sheet (look for header cells, etc) -- it simply reads, converts, dumps.</p>

<p>Print a nicely formatted overview of an object, including _everything_ in the object's `dir'. This is great when programming interactively.</p>
<p>More comprehensive than help(), prettier than dir().</p>
