tefy 0.1.3

A very basic wrapper for conversions from doc, docx and odt to TEI XML

TEfy

TEfy was born out of the need to streamline the conversion of *.doc, *.docx and *.odt documents into TEI XML when using Python scripts. It's a very basic wrapper around the OxGarage API at oxgarage.tei-c.org/ege-webservice and covers a small subset of conversions, namely from doc, docx and odt to TEI XML. The conversion result is output as an lxml etree Element.

Usage

You can install TEfy from PyPI ($ pip install TEfy) and convert let's say an ODT document like this:

from TEfy import OxGaWrap
example_file = OxGaWrap('path/to/example.odt')
example_file.convert_to_tei()
etree_object = example_file.get_et_output()

Feedback

I'm an amateur pythonista and this is just one of my clumsy baby steps, so any feedback on how to improve TEfy is very welcome!
