Cannot figure out this error in python 3Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in NameError: name 'xlrd' is not defined

Question

I have installed xlrd successfully, however, on attempting to use a command of xlrd:

xlrd.open_workbook('datafile.xls')

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'xlrd' is not defined

I cannot understand this error and how to rectify it.
