I looked at the clients package and had a bit trouble understanding where it sits in the Python-excel landscape. Is it a competitor to openpyxl?

The pro version has quite a price tag, so I’m assuming they have a big value add.

xlwings is a competitor to VBA rather than openpyxl: openpyxl can read and write the Excel file on disk, without involving the Excel application. xlwings is all about automating the Excel application, and write macros and custom functions in Python.
