I am trying to automate population of word template using python. The library I am using is docxtpl to help me do that. I am getting this expected token ‘end of print statement’ got ‘Size’ error and don’t know where to look for help. It’s some sort of jinja2 error which I haven’t come across before. Any help will be much appreciated.
The code is below:
import jinja2
from docxtpl import DocxTemplate
from jinja2 import Template
doc= DocxTemplate(path to the doc)
context= {“name”:”ABCD”}
doc.render(context)
doc.save(populated_template.docx)
Tried the above and many other solutions and nothing has worked. Stuck on this issue for hours. Have installed and uninstalled packages to help alleviate the issue but with no luck.
Full traceback below:
