A Python library for creating, reading, querying, and modifying Microsoft Word 2007/2008 .docx (Office Open XML) files, supporting paragraphs, tables, images, headings, and XPath-based document queries. This original repository has been archived and moved to the python-openxml/python-docx project, which continues development with Python 3 support.
Use cases
- generate word documents from python
- extract text from docx files
- search and replace text in word documents
- fill in word document templates programmatically
- add tables and images to docx files
- run xpath queries against docx xml
- modify existing word documents without office automation
When to choose
- you need to manipulate .docx files in Python without COM automation or Office installed
- you want to extract plain text or query document XML from Word files
- you need to generate Word documents with paragraphs, tables, lists, and images
When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained library - use python-openxml/python-docx instead
- you need to read legacy .doc binary files rather than .docx
- you need Python 3 support, which this archived version lacks
