Thanks, Thomas.
There are really so many great python packages out there.

In the past, I've used the Python libraries "openpyxl" and "xlsxwriter"
in my scripts. They're both good.

They were largely used for reading and writing simple Excel
spreadsheets, but xlsxwriter claims to be able to read and write macros,
which the file you posted seems to make heavy use of.

It may or may not work for you, but it's worth checking out.
