xlrd, loadtxt

interesting stuff in the epd
xlrd
python-excel reader to load an excel spreadsheet
numpy.loadtxt()
reads data from a text file into a numpy array
also, the scipy.stats module has many continuous and discrete distributions, with a common interface for them all. i should use this same interface for distributions of optimization objective functions in financial simulations.
