Installing

python-docx-oss is hosted on PyPI, so installation is relatively simple, and just depends on what installation utilities you have installed.

python-docx-oss may be installed with pip if you have it available:

pip install python-docx-oss

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-oss-{version}
python setup.py install

python-docx-oss depends on the lxml package. pip 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 3.8, 3.9 or 3.10

• lxml >= 4.6.5
