How to Download and Install olefile

Pre-requisites

olefile requires Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.x.

For Python 2.5 and older, olefile falls back to an older version (based on OleFileIO_PL 0.26) which might not contain all the enhancements implemented in olefile.

Download and Install

To use olefile with other Python applications or your own scripts, the simplest solution is to run "pip install olefile" or "easy_install olefile" to download and install the package in one go.

Otherwise you may download/extract the zip archive in a temporary directory and run "python setup.py install".

On Windows you may simply double-click on install.bat.
