When I try to install python-docx on my machine, I get errors that I haven't seen in other questions... here's the command prompt code-
C:\windows\system32>pip install python-docx

*covered my username with 'usr'. What's the error with 'xslt-config' not being recognized? I've searched that too but nothing I tried worked. I also tried to install libxml2 and libxslt, but that didn't work either (not recognized on the pypi?). The error about not finding the 'vcvarsall.bat' is confusing as well. Then it goes on at the end to say "compile failed with error code 1". Does anyone know what the computer is trying to tell me? I've tried reading through this code multiple times and haven't been able to reach a solution. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance!
libxml2 and libxslt are C-code libraries that lxml depends on. You might try installing lxml from a binary distribution and see if that gets you past this.
