Convert DOTM to EML using Python

DOTM to EML conversion in your Python Applications without installing Microsoft Word^® or Outlook.

Why to Convert

There can be many reasons for wanting to convert a DOTM file to an EML file. For example, the recipient of the EML file may not have Microsoft Word, or the email client being used may not be able to open DOTM files. Whatever the reason, Aspose.Total for Python via .NET makes the conversion process easy.

How Aspose.Total Helps for DOTM to EML Conversion

Aspose.Total for Python via .NET is a full package of various APIs dealing different formats, including Email, Images, and Microsoft Word formats. The Aspose.Words for Python via .NET and Aspose.Email for Python via .NET APIs that are part of the Aspose.Total for Python via .NET package make this conversion easy using Python.

The conversion process is a two-step process. First, load the Word file and render it into HTML via Aspose.Words for Python via .NET . Secondly, load the converted HTML using Aspose.Email for Python via .NET and save it into EML format.

How to Convert DOTM to EML in Python

Open the source DOTM file using Document class
Call the save method while specifying output HTML file path and relevant HTML Save options as parameter. So your DOTM 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 DOTM is converted

Conversion Requirements

For DOTM to EML 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
