Running a Sharepoint Excel in my workbench results in OSError: [WinError 10093] Either the application has not called WSAStartup, or WSAStartup failed

Hi there, 

I have connected to a Sharepoint Excel file in my workbench. I am able to read the rows and values when inspecting the Excel. 

However, when I connect the Sharepoint Excel reader into any transformer, I get the error below:

Exception ignored in: <finalize object at 0x13bf76a0; dead>

When I try open the Python file linked the error log, it does not open (not sure if this is expected or not). 

I have tried getting around this by first creating a copy of the Sharepoint Excel with no luck. 

Any pointers on how to fix this? Thanks
