So I need to generate some docx files. The choices for libraries seem to be paradocx (which doesn't look all that advanced, unless I'm missing something), python-docx and its forks (some dead, some alive), pyth (which technically generates RTF files, but those would probably be suitable too), COM interop (Windows-only) or comedy option .NET interop to Word itself using IronPython. Anyone familiar with any of these approaches?

If RTF would be suitable, how about HTML?

I went and double-checked the requirements, and unfortunately, it turns out it has to be DOCX or RTF. RTF is something I could probably generate myself, but I'd like to avoid reinventing any wheels I don't need to.

Could you use an mDNS library like Avahi or Bonjour? That would save you the issue of even needing to discover IP addresses in the first place.
