GitHub - pank/python-docx-svg: Add svg support to python-docx

Small library to patch python-docx with SVG-support based on pull request #1343.

All credit goes to @takis and @lsaint who developed most of the code.

SVG support will hopefully be added upstream, making this package obsolete.
Until then, standard python-docx can be used, rather than one of the forks with SVG support.

Example

# Simply load `docx_svg`, patch it, and use `docx` as usually

import docx_svg
from docx import Document
from docx.shared import Inches

docx_svg.patch()

with open("test.svg", 'w') as f:
    f.write(
        ('<svg height="2in" width="2in" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">'
        '<circle r="75" cx="100" cy="100" fill="red" />'
        '</svg>'))

document = Document()
document.add_picture("test.svg", width=Inches(2))
document.save('demo.docx')

Install

The project isn't on PyPi yet. For now it can be installed with pip using e.g. the repo zip:
