Package: python3-pandas Version: 1.1.5+dfsg-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
after upgrading Buster to Bullseye a Python script reading data from xlsx files stopped working. This is because of a known bug when using pandas with openpyxl which is now used by default for reading xlsx files instead of xlrd: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/pull/39486 It has been fixed in pandas and backported to 1.2.2 therefore I'd like to have that or a later version packaged for Bullseye, at least as a backport. As a workaround we set the engine to xlrd in our Python script, but that is not ideal because they removed support for xlsx files in the current version. I'd really like to get rid of it and use openpyxl instead. (Removing system information as this is not the system where the bug occured.) Unfortunately I can't attach the xlsx file because it contains sensitive data. Let me know if there is anything else I can do. Thanks! David
