I have been trying to perform some advanced word document manipulation with python-docx, but I was advised to use Microsoft office API.
The problem is t
pywin32 is:
Python extensions for Microsoft Windows Provides access to much of the Win32 API, the ability to create and use COM objects, and the Pythonwin environment.
which essentially means an interface for Python to access the native Windows API. Obviously this means to use it on Windows exclusively (I tried, doesn't event work under cygwin, so don't even think about Mac)
