Replace White-space with hyphen then create URL - python-2.7

Question

I'm trying to speed up a process of webscraping by sending raw data to python in lieu of correctly formatted data.
Current data is received as an excel file with data formatted as:
26 EXAMPLE RD EXAMPLEVILLE SA 5000
Data is formatted in excel via macros to:
Replace all spaces with hyphen
Change all text to lower-case
Paste text onto end of http://example.com/property/
Formatted data is http://www.example.com/property/26-example-rd-exampleville-sa-5000
What i'm trying to accomplish:
Get python to go into excel sheet and follow formatting rules listed above, then pass the records to the scraper.
Here is the code I have been trying to compile - please go easy i am VERY new.
Any advice or reading sources related to python formatting would be appreciated.
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import requests
import csv
from lxml import html
import xlrd
# URL_BUILDER
# Source File for UNFORMATTED DATA
file_location = "C:\Python27\Projects\REA_SCRAPER\NewScraper\ScrapeFile.xlsx"
workbook = xlrd.open_workbook(file_location)
sheet = workbook.sheet_by_name('((PythonScraperDNC))')
# REA_SCRAPER
# Pass Data from URL_BUILDER to URL_LIST []
URL_LIST = []
# Search Phrase to capture suitable URL's for Scraping
text2search = \
'''<p class="property-value__title">
RECENTLY SOLD
</p>'''
# Write Sales .CSV file
with open('Results.csv', 'wb') as csv_file:
writer = csv.writer(csv_file)
for (index, url) in enumerate(URL_LIST):
page = requests.get(url)
print '<Scanning Url For Sale>'
if text2search in page.text:
tree = html.fromstring(page.content)
(title, ) = (x.text_content() for x in tree.xpath('//title'))
(price, ) = (x.text_content() for x in tree.xpath('//div[#class="property-value__price"]'))
(sold, ) = (x.text_content().strip() for x intree.xpath('//p[#class="property-value__agent"]'))
writer.writerow([title, price, sold])
else:
writer.writerow(['No Sale'])

If you're just trying to figure out how to do the formatting in Python:
text = '26 EXAMPLE RD EXAMPLEVILLE SA 5000'
url = 'http://example.com/property/' + text.replace(' ', '-').lower()
print(url)
# Output:
# http://example.com/property/26-example-rd-exampleville-sa-5000
