It provides both a command-line tool and a Python API, making it usable in scripts or as part of a larger application. The package has no runtime dependencies, so installation is lightweight and friction-free.\n\nThe code is adapted from existing docx tooling but focuses specifically on text and image extraction rather than document manipulation. It's positioned as a simpler alternative when you only need to pull content out of .docx files rather than create or modify them. With significant real-world use, though maintenance is infrequent (last update 508 days ago).","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need straightforward .docx text and image extraction and can verify the license terms. The package is mature, has no dependencies, and handles the core task well. The aging maintenance status and unclear license are minor concerns\u2014check the repository for the actual license before using in production, and test with your specific .docx variants to confirm compatibility."},"id":"docx2txt","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/docx2txt","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/docx2txt.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/docx2txt/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-03-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"docx2txt","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A pure python-based utility to extract text and images from docx files."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":8581646,"position":1604,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9"}
