Convert DOC to OST using Python

DOC to OST conversion in your Python Applications without installing Microsoft Word^® or Outlook.

Aspose.Total for Python via .NET" is a comprehensive package of APIs that can help a Python developer automate the process of converting a DOC file to an OST file. It includes two APIs, Aspose.Words for Python via .NET and Aspose.Email for Python via .NET, which make the conversion process easy and straightforward. The process involves two steps. First, the Word file is loaded and rendered into HTML using Aspose.Words for Python via .NET. Then, the converted HTML is loaded using Aspose.Email for Python via .NET and saved into the OST format. This API package is a great tool for Python developers who need to quickly and easily convert DOC files to OST files.

How to Convert DOC to OST in Python

Open the source DOC file using Document class
Call the save method while specifying output HTML file path and relevant HTML Save options as parameter. So your DOC file is converted to HTML at the specified path
Now Load the saved HTML file using MailMessage.load
Call the save method with relevant file path. So finally the DOC is converted

Conversion Requirements

For DOC to OST conversion, Python 3.5 or later is required
Reference APIs within the project directly from PyPI ( Aspose.Words and Aspose.Email )
Or use the following pip command pip install aspose.words and pip install Aspose.Email-for-Python-via-NET
Moreover, Microsoft Windows or Linux based OS (see more for Words and Email ) and for Linux check additional requirements for gcc and libpython and follow step by step instructions INSTALL
