I want to embed an Excel object within a Word document such that it shows up as a table within the doc, but is actually not a table – it is a linked Excel object. I want to achieve this with Python since I am generating the entire document on Python using libraries like docx-mailmerge.

I see that this can be done with pywin32, however, the catch is that I am trying to do this embedding for a streamlit app. Since streamlit runs on a Linux server, pywin32 cannot be deployed for the job.

I am unable to find any other libraries that can allow me to do OLE in python for Linux.

Would greatly appreciate help here since this is for a really important project. Thanks!
