Error parsing document with bullet list

[Sam Kleist]

I am trying to use this library to gather indention level from a word document. I am getting the following error when the word document includes a bullet point list...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/src/main.py", line 9, in <module>

AttributeError: 'lxml.etree._Element' object has no attribute 'pPr'

I have nothing in my word document except these two lines.

Thanks for this bug report. I'll try and get to this in the next few days, or feel free to submit a PR. (I maintain this in my "free" time)

Hello!

I had the same problem and I solved it by installing the version of python-docx that is specified in the README.md

This project relies on the python-docx package which can be installed via pip install python-docx. However, as of this writing, if you wish to scrape documents which contain (A) form fields such as drop down lists, checkboxes and text inputs or (B) nested documents (subdocs, altChunks, etc.), you'll need to clone this fork of the python-docx package.

[Jason Thorpe]

Thanks @bastiansg. I'm glad that worked for you, though in principal that shouldn't be required for nested lists. However it tells me that the python docx probably had a minor change since I made that fork and I should update his repo to adapt. I'll try and get to it in the next day or so.

Closing this issue as it appears to be identical to issue #12.
