element.name error #9

Closed matt-erhart closed 8 years ago

I had to change def read to the bellow to get python-mammoth working. It's line 284 in body_xml.

def read(element): if hasattr(element, 'name'): handler = handlers.get(element.name) else: setattr(element, 'name', 'noname') handler = None;

Thanks for the report. Is that happening with all documents, such as a blank document, or just some? If it's happening to just some, would you mind sending across an example?

I've just uploaded an updated version of Mammoth to PyPI which should hopefully fix the issue, could you give it a whirl? In any case, I'd still be interested in seeing the documents that caused the issue though.

I was actually converting a pdf to docx with Word 2016 and then doing the rest in python. I don't have the problem with a simple docx file that I made. Thanks for the update, will check it out.

I think the latest version solves this problem, so closing this issue. Feel free to reopen if that turns out not to be the case.
