I want to open and read an excel file with pd.read_excel using utf-8 (so other languages could be read) as in read_csv the encodings can be set to utf-8, is it possible somehow?

You may pass an open file:

with open("file_path", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    pd.read_excel(f)

I didn't find a reference in the docs but a quick look in pandas code suggests "utf-8" might be the default already.

Thank you! it seems I have a problem when trying to use the values (from the excel file) for text in kivy labels for example, so the codec does work, how can I fix it?
