But most of the cases, we may face a situation to get the report in word file(.docx / .doc). This in need when we need to modify the content of the file like some application forms, certificate templates etc. Word Report In Odoo support us to get the reports in .doc or .dox format.

Installation

python-docx is hosted on PyPI, so installation is relatively simple, and just depends on what installation utilities you have installed.

It is possible to install python-docx  with pip if you have it available:

python-docx can also install using easy_install, although this is discouraged:

If neither pip nor easy_install is available, it can install manually by downloading the distribution from PyPI, unpacking the tarball, and running setup.py:

python-docx depends on the lxml package. Both pip and easy_install will take care of satisfying those dependencies for you, but if you use this last method you will need to install those yourself.
