Aspose.Total for Python via .NET" is a comprehensive package of APIs that can help Python developers automate the process of converting OST to TEXT. 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: firstly, the Email is loaded and rendered into HTML using Aspose.Email for Python via .NET, and then the HTML is loaded using Aspose.Words for Python via .NET and saved into the respective Word TEXT format. This API package is a great solution for Python developers who need to quickly and easily convert OST to TEXT. It is reliable, efficient, and easy to use, making it an ideal choice for developers who need to quickly and accurately convert OST to TEXT.

How to Convert OST to TEXT in Python

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

Conversion Requirements

  • For OST to TEXT 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
