Any chance of getting lxml in Pythonista 1.6 (and the next version of Editorial too, while I'm at it)? I would really, really like to use openpyxl (or python-xlsx) and python-docx to read/edit Excel and Word docs in my Dropbox but they have lxml as a dependency and, as a C-based library, it's not user-installable.

RE: Create docx file using Python-docx?
I am pretty sure this isn't possible, since
python-docx
(andpython-xlsx
) requireslxml
, which is not installed on Pythonista or Editorial and is a C library rather than a native Python module and therefore can't be user-installed. It would require either a) Ole to includelxml
as part of the app, or b) someone to reworkpython-docx
and-xlsx
to use another XML-parsing module, like sayelementtree
.I would dearly love to be proven wrong, though.
