Performs a Mail Merge on docx (Microsoft Office Word) files

Project description

基于Bouke的 Docx-mailmerge: 1、merge与merge_rows可以将所有符合的全部替换 2、基于TNGPS提供的方式,实现图片的替换(title为field名称,descr如果为deletable,没有匹配数据则删除) Base on Bouke’s Docx-mailmerge(3q): 1. enable merge_rows all required table, not only the first. 2. fixed the nested table rows merge bug.

Build Status PyPI

Performs a Mail Merge on Office Open XML (docx) files. Can be used on any system without having to install Microsoft Office Word. Supports Python 2.7, 3.3 and up.

Installation

Installation with pip:

$ pip install docx-mailmerge-hxd

Usage

Open the file.

from mailmerge import MailMerge
with MailMerge('input.docx') as document:
    ...

List all merge fields.

print document.get_merge_fields()

Merge fields, supplied as kwargs.

document.merge(field1='docx Mail Merge',
               field2='Can be used for merging docx documents')

Merge table rows. In your template, add a MergeField to the row you would like to designate as template. Supply the name of this MergeField as anchor parameter. The second parameter contains the rows with key-value pairs for the MergeField replacements.

document.merge_rows('col1',
                    [{'col1': 'Row 1, Column 1', 'col2': 'Row 1 Column 1'},
                     {'col1': 'Row 2, Column 1', 'col2': 'Row 2 Column 1'},
                     {'col1': 'Row 3, Column 1', 'col2': 'Row 3 Column 1'}])

Starting in version 0.2.0 you can also combine these two separate calls into a single call to merge.

document.merge(field1='docx Mail Merge',
               col1=[
                   {'col1': 'A'},
                   {'col1': 'B'},
               ])

Starting in version 0.2.0 there’s also the feature for template merging. This creates a copy of the template for each item in the list, does a merge, and separates them by page or section breaks (see function documentation).

When using this feature, make sure you don’t use comments, footnotes, bookmarks, etc. This is because these elements have an id attribute, which must be unique. This library does not handle this, resulting in invalid documents.

document.merge_templates([
    {'field1': "Foo", 'field2: "Copy #1"},
    {'field1': "Bar", 'field2: "Copy #2"},
], separator='page_break')

Write document to file. This should be a new file, as ZipFile cannot modify existing zip files.

document.write('output.docx')

Unit tests

In order to make sure that the library performs the way it was designed, unit tests are used. When providing new features, or fixing bugs, there should be a unit test that demonstrates it. Run the test suite:

python -m unittest discover
