in Using Dataiku

Hi,

I am using the python docx library to create a word document:

doc = Document()

After filling out the document with the relevant text, I manage to write it to a "Managed folder" as follows:

doc.save('/data/dataiku/managed_folders/ProjectName/FolderID/'+fileNameOut)

This does however not work for Sharepoint folders. I tried to switch the folder-ID, but I get the following error message:

Exception: Folder is not on the local filesystem (uses fsprovider_sharepoint-online_sharepoint-online_shared-documents), cannot perform direct filesystem access. Use the read/write API instead.

I have not found the correct method from the read/write API that suites my needs.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Anders

    Hi @Anders
    ,
    After installing python-docx here is a basic example of creating a doc and upload it to a remote managed folder, the below can be run from a notebook/recipe within DSS:

    import dataiku
import pandas as pd, numpy as np
from dataiku import pandasutils as pdu
import tempfile
from docx import Document

# create a new Word document
doc = Document()

#define output folder id 
output_folder = dataiku.Folder("D5gWMxUp")

# add some content to the document
doc.add_heading('Sample Document', level=1)
doc.add_paragraph('This is a sample Word document created using Python and the docx library.')

# create a temporary file to save the document to
with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(suffix='.docx', delete=False) as temp_file:
    # save the document to the temporary file
    doc.save(temp_file.name)
    with open(temp_file.name, 'rb') as f:
        output_folder.upload_stream("test.docx", f)
    print("File uploaded to output folder.")
