# Read diet model data from an Excel spreadsheet (diet.xls).
# Pass the imported data into the diet model (dietmodel.py).
#
# Note that this example reads an external data file (..\data\diet.xls).
# As a result, it must be run from the Gurobi examples/python directory.
#
# This example requires Python package 'xlrd', which isn't included
# in most Python distributions.  You can obtain it from
# http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlrd.
