python-docx-ng

python-docx-ng is a Python library for creating and updating Microsoft Word (.docx) files. It was originally designed and developed by scanny as python-docx. As he is not actively developing his repo and there are soo many useful pull requests, bringing together a more powerful tool. This repo should merge a lot of those things and create a more powerful version, hopefully bearing the original structure of scanny in mind.

More information is available in the python-docx-ng Documentation.
