exceptions
Exceptions used with python-docx.
The base exception class is PythonDocxError.
Bases: Exception
Generic error class.
Bases: PythonDocxError
Raised when an invalid merge region is specified in a request to merge table cells.
Bases: PythonDocxError
Raised when invalid XML is encountered, such as on attempt to access a missing required child element.
Bases: PythonDocxError
Raised on opening an ISO/IEC 29500 Strict document.
Word's "Strict Open XML Document" save format writes the same element names in the
Strict namespaces (http://purl.oclc.org/ooxml/...) rather than the Transitional
ones this library reads. The file is an ordinary-looking .docx, so without this
the failure is an AttributeError naming an lxml internal, which says
nothing about what is actually wrong or what to do about it.
Strict is the default in some regulated and public-sector environments. Re-saving the file from Word as "Word Document (.docx)" produces the Transitional form.
