I've moved your post to the Python Development section.
This question has not really something to do with the C4D Python API. The question is not uncommon
though, have you tried to hit google?Also, StackOverflow is a good place to go for questions regarding Python programming that is not
necessarily bound to the C4D Python API.Best,

Where do I need to save/import the packages in Mac? Can you help me to get the path?

You have to install the python packages into the Python Library Folder of Cinema4D. If you select the Preferences Menu in Cinema4D there is a Button called "Open Preferences Folder..." this will lead to a folder called CINEMA 4D R<release number>_<some hex code>
Inside this folder library/python/packages/osx/ is the folder where you have to install the xlrd and xlwt packages.
If this is successful you should be able to access Excel files... -
