Thank you.
I expected I would be looking at Scott's stuff.
But, I want to investigate Python - any hints for starters ?

My question is what tool(s) do we use to consume the Excel workbook ?

Given what your shop is most comfortable with, it's a no-brainer to use Scott's POI-based HSSF and XSSF stuff:
