Python docx module ModuleNotFoundError

Question

I am a windows 7 user with MS-Office 2016 and python 3.6.
I recently found out that you can write word documents with python.
I looked on how to do that
I installed the docx module:

pip install docx

But whenever i try to import the docx module i get this error:

>>> from docx import Document
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:UsersHuzefaAppDataLocalProgramsPy
in <module>
    from exceptions import PendingDeprecationWarn
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'exceptions'

I have even tried this but it wont work:

pip install exceptions

I get this error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement exceptions (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for exceptions

I thought that maybe this is happening because docx is a python-2 module but it is not. I found it out here

so can someone tell me what i am doing wrong?

Answer 1

I suggest that you can try like this –

$ pip install --pre python-docx

Or you can also try sudo command –

$ sudo pip install --pre python-docx

After that try –

from docx import Document

From here you can find [https://python-docx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/install.html][1]

Answer 3

The problem here is that the name for installation and usage are different:

To install: pip install python-docx
To use: from docx import Document

Install with the correct name (i.e. python-docx) and it shall work.
