from xlrd import open_workbook
wb = open_workbook('tmp.xls', formatting_info=True)
sheet = wb.sheet_by_name("1")
cell = sheet.cell(6, 0)
print "cell.xf_index is", cell.xf_index
fmt = wb.xf_list[cell.xf_index]
print "type(fmt) is", type(fmt)
print
print "fmt.dump():"
fmt.dump()
fmt是XF类的实例；参见https://secure.simplistix.co.uk/svn/xlrd/trunk/xlrd/doc/xlrd.html#formatting.XF- class
该dump()方法打印有关格式的所有信息。这是上面代码的输出：
cell.xf_index is 497
type(fmt) is <class 'xlrd.formatting.XF'>

其中一些值是工作簿列表中的索引wb。例如，fmt.font_index为72，并且wb.font_list[72]是Font该类的实例（https://secure.simplistix.co.uk/svn/xlrd/trunk/xlrd/doc/xlrd.html#formatting.Font-class）。
