The problem is that app.Documents.Open returns multiple values (in addition to
regular return value, there are others either via ref or out parameters). This
is what IronPython translates into tuples. This is quite common construct in
Python:
def multiple():
return 1, "hello", 4.5
i, s, f = multiple()
Similarly, you can capture the multiple return values from Word's Open to a
tuple and then inspect its elements to find out which one is the actual
document. It appears from the printout below, that it is the one at index zero.
Therefore, you can write:
values = app.Documents.Open( ... );
myDoc = values[0]

Subject: [IronPython] Word and MissingMemberException, 'tuple' object has no
attribute 'SaveAs
Hi,
I am new to IronPython but have a couple of years experience with Python.
Currently I am stuck with a problem trying to open a Word document (WordML)
and saving it as .rtf back to disk
The exception I get upon call of myDoc.SaveAs is:
MissingMemberException, 'tuple' object has no attribute 'SaveAs'
when I check myDoc (obtained from Word.Documents.Open) in the CLR debugger I
see indeed that I got a tuple
but it does not look like a Python tuple and I dont know how to handle that:
- myDoc {(<DocumentClass object at 0x000000000000002B>,
'D:\\Projekte\\SGMLtoRtf\\dirWatch_SGMLtoRtf\\test\\HelloWorld.xml',
<Missing object at 0x000000000000002C>, True, <Missing object at
0x000000000000002C>, <Missing object at 0x000000000000002C>, <Missing object
at 0x000000000000002C>, <Missing object at 0x000000000000002C>, <Missing
object at 0x000000000000002C>, <Missing object at 0x000000000000002C>,
<Missing object at 0x000000000000002C>, <Missing object at
0x000000000000002C>, <Missing object at 0x000000000000002C>, <Missing object
at 0x000000000000002C>, <Missing object at 0x000000000000002C>, <Missing
object at 0x000000000000002C>, <Missing object at 0x000000000000002C>)}
object {IronPython.Runtime.Tuple}
so the type is IronPython.Runtime.Tuple
What is wrong with using Documents.Open from IronPython?
My script, stripped down a little bit, is:
import System.Type
import clr
clr.AddReferenceByPartialName("Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word")
import Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word as Word # ApplicationClass,
WdSaveFormat
import sys
sys.path.append(r"c:\python24\lib")
import os
inPath = r".\test\HelloWorld.xml"
inPath = os.path.abspath(inPath)
assert os.path.isfile(inPath), "not found: %s" % inPath
outPath = os.path.splitext(inPath)[0] +".rtf"
app = Word.ApplicationClass()
try:
readOnly = True
myDoc = app.Documents.Open(inPath, System.Type.Missing, readOnly,
*[System.Type.Missing]*13);
myDoc.SaveAs( outPath,
Word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatRTF, # FileFormat
System.Type.Missing, # LockComments
System.Type.Missing, # Password
False, # AddToRecentFiles
System.Type.Missing, # WritePassword
System.Type.Missing, # ReadOnlyRecommended
System.Type.Missing, # EmbedTrueTypeFonts
System.Type.Missing, # SaveNativePictureFormat
System.Type.Missing, # SaveFormsData
System.Type.Missing, # SaveAsAOCELetter
System.Type.Missing, # Encoding
System.Type.Missing, # InsertLineBreaks
System.Type.Missing, # AllowSubstitutions
System.Type.Missing, # LineEnding
System.Type.Missing, # AddBiDiMarks
)
myDoc.Close(
False, # SaveChanges
System.Type.Missing, # OriginalFormat
System.Type.Missing, # RouteDocument
)
finally:
app.Quit(*[System.Type.Missing]*3)
How can I call member functions of a Word document obtained from
Documents.Open?
