    If like me you were wondering if MS actually provided their own parsers for their Office file formats… they did not.

    It seems to just be a bunch of random pyxyz 3rd-party support libraries all mashed together.

    Reading through the source code, it’s more of a repackaging of other open source libraries, probably for its AI effort.
