Add an image in a specific position in the document (.docx) with Python?

Question

I use Python-docx to generate Microsoft Word document.The user want that when he write for eg: \"Good Morning every body,This is my %(profile_img)s do you like it?\" in a HT

Answer 1

This is adopting the answer written by Robᵩ while considering more flexible input from user. My assumption is that the HTML field mentioned by Kais Dkhili (orignal enquirer) is already loaded in docx.Document(). So...

Identify where is the related HTML text in the document.

import re 
## regex module

img_tag = re.compile(r'%\(profile_img\)s') # declare pattern

for _p in enumerate(document.paragraphs): 
    if bool(img_tag.match(_p.text)): 
        
        img_paragraph = _p 
        # if and only if; suggesting img_paragraph a list and 
        # use append method instead for full document search 
        
        break # lose the break if want full document search

Replace desired image into placeholder identified as img_tag = '%(profile_img)s'

The following code is after considering the text contains only a single run May be changed accordingly if condition otherwise

temp_text = img_tag.split(img_paragraph.text)

img_paragraph.runs[0].text = temp_text[0] 

_r = img_paragraph.add_run()
_r.add_picture('profile_img.png', width = Inches(1.25))

img_paragraph.add_run(temp_text[1])

and done. document.save() it if finalised.

In case you are wondering what to expect from the temp_text...

[In]

img_tag.split(img_paragraph.text)

[Out]

['This is my ', ' do you like it?']
