NoteGroupDocs.Conversion for Python via .NET does not require any external software such as Microsoft Office or third-party document editors. To install the library, follow the steps in the Installation guide.
GroupDocs.Conversion for Python via .NET runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Choose the wheel that matches your platform — the package ships as a platform-specific .whl on PyPI and pip will pick the correct one automatically.
- Microsoft Windows 10 (x64, x86)
- Microsoft Windows 11 (x64)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2016 and later
- Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+, CentOS 8+, Fedora 36+, Alpine 3.16+
- macOS 12 (Monterey) and later — Intel and Apple Silicon (M-series)
GroupDocs.Conversion for Python via .NET supports Python 3.5 through 3.14. The wheel uses the py3-none-{platform} tag, meaning it works with any Python 3.x version in that range without per-version rebuilds.
| Python Version | Supported |
|---|---|
| 3.5 | Yes |
| 3.6 | Yes |
| 3.7 | Yes |
| 3.8 | Yes |
| 3.9 | Yes |
| 3.10 | Yes |
| 3.11 | Yes |
| 3.12 | Yes |
| 3.13 | Yes |
| 3.14 | Yes |
GroupDocs.Conversion for Python via .NET is distributed via PyPI:
pip install groupdocs-conversion-net
The PyPI index hosts one wheel per platform pair:
| Platform | Wheel suffix |
|---|---|
| Windows 64-bit | py3-none-win_amd64.whl |
| Windows 32-bit | py3-none-win32.whl |
| Linux x64 (glibc) | py3-none-manylinux_2_17_x86_64.manylinux2014_x86_64.whl |
| Linux musl (Alpine) | py3-none-musllinux_1_2_x86_64.whl |
| macOS Apple Silicon | py3-none-macosx_11_0_arm64.whl |
| macOS Intel | py3-none-macosx_10_14_x86_64.whl |
GroupDocs.Conversion uses libgdiplus for drawing routines when the source document contains images. On Windows no extra setup is required. On Linux and macOS install libgdiplus (and a minimal font set) so that image-bearing documents render correctly.
Install the following packages on Debian / Ubuntu derivatives:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y libgdiplus libfontconfig1 libx11-dev ttf-mscorefonts-installer
libgdiplus — Mono library providing a GDI+-compatible API on non-Windows operating systems.
libfontconfig1 / libx11-dev — needed for drawing functions (image and font rendering).
ttf-mscorefonts-installer — Microsoft-compatible fonts used by many Office-format documents. If
ttf-mscorefonts-installeris not available, add thecontribcomponent to your apt sources:sudo sed -i'.bak' 's/$/ contrib/' /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-get updateICU — required by the .NET runtime. On minimal distributions install it explicitly:
sudo apt-get install -y libicu-dev. Do not setDOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT, as it disables culture-sensitive conversions.
Install libgdiplus using Homebrew:
brew install mono-libgdiplus
If you see a DllNotFoundException: libSkiaSharp error after upgrading, an older system copy of SkiaSharp is shadowing the one bundled with the wheel. Rename it so the bundled copy wins:
sudo mv /usr/local/lib/libSkiaSharp.dylib /usr/local/lib/libSkiaSharp.dylib.bak
No extra dependencies — the wheel is self-contained.
