but when open python , type:

how can solve import error? missing?

this symptom can arise when have both legacy version , new version of python-docx installed. recommend uninstall both , install python-docx using pip. in general recommend avoiding utilize of easy_install anymore.

the legacy versions (v0.2.x) have install-package name 'docx'. new version uses name 'python-docx' (although both import 'docx' 1 time installed). if installed pip doing uninstall/reinstall this:

$ pip freeze ... docx ... python-docx ... $ pip uninstall docx ... $ pip uninstall python-docx ... $ pip install python-docx ...

it sounds used easy_install originally, might need uninstall manually, although seek first , see if pip done you. if not, quick search on python easy_install uninstall lead useful resources. might involve visiting "c:\python26\lib\site-packages\" , removing files or directories start 'docx' or 'python-docx'.

this should farther along. if still gives problem after doing this, allow me know new symptoms. should able install pretty transparently on uncorrupted python installation if utilize pip.
