It lets you programmatically read, create, and modify Microsoft Word 2007+ (.docx) files from Python code. The package wraps the Office Open XML format and provides a high-level API for common operations like adding paragraphs and saving documents.\n\nThe library depends on lxml for XML parsing and typing-extensions for type hints. It supports Python 3.7 through 3.11 and carries a Production/Stable classifier, though the repository has been dormant since November 2023 with no updates since its initial release.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to work with .docx files and the fork's additional features align with your use case.
