How to add a picture to a header/footer in python-docx

Question

I would like to add a logo (picture in jpg or png) to a footer or header by using python-docx.

Is there a way how to do it?

Answer 1

Add a run and add a picture to the run:

document = Document()
section = document.sections[0]
header = section.header
paragraph = header.paragraphs[0]
run = paragraph.add_run()
run.add_picture("my-image.png")

More documentation on working with headers and footers is here:
