Installing¶
Note
python-docx versions 0.3.0 and later are not API-compatible with prior versions.
python-docx is hosted on PyPI, so installation is relatively simple, and just
depends on what installation utilities you have installed.
python-docx may be installed with pip if you have it available:
pip install python-docx
python-docx can also be installed using easy_install, although this is
discouraged:
easy_install python-docx
If neither pip nor easy_install is available, it can be installed
manually by downloading the distribution from PyPI, unpacking the tarball,
and running setup.py:
tar xvzf python-docx-{version}.tar.gz
cd python-docx-{version}
python setup.py install
python-docx depends on the lxml package. Both pip and easy_install
will take care of satisfying those dependencies for you, but if you use this
last method you will need to install those yourself.
Dependencies¶
Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, or 3.4
lxml >= 2.3.2
