It supports Word 97-03 through Word 2019 formats and runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. The library handles document operations like merging, splitting, comparing, and extracting content, plus it can convert Word documents to PDF, images (PNG, JPEG, BMP, SVG), HTML, RTF, EPUB, XPS, PostScript, and OFD formats.\n\nThe package provides a large API surface for text manipulation (find, replace, highlight, extract), table operations (create, modify rows/columns), image handling (insert, replace, extract), headers/footers, watermarks, bookmarks, comments, hyperlinks, and mail merge. It depends only on plum-dispatch for method dispatch. The library is maintained actively and supports current Python versions (3.7+), with platform-specific wheels for different architectures.","worth_installing":"Yes, if your use case requires Word document processing and you can verify the license terms with the vendor. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and supports current Python versions across major platforms. However, the unclear proprietary license and lack of public license documentation mean you must confirm terms before production use, especially for commercial applications."},"id":"spire-doc","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/spire-doc","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/spire-doc.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/spire-doc/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"spire-doc","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A 100% standalone Word Python API for Processing Word Files"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":91973,"position":13492,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"14.6.2"}
