In the example below we'll be generating an MSPDI # file which we can import into Microsoft Project. startJVM () from java.lang import Double from java.text import SimpleDateFormat from net.sf.mpxj import ProjectFile, TaskField, Duration, TimeUnit, RelationType # The helper class we use later to actually write the file # selects the file type based on the extension of the # filename. Or finally you can generate your own schedule: import jpype import mpxj jpype. read ( 'example.mpp' ) print ( 'Tasks' ) for task in project. startJVM () from net.sf.mpxj.reader import UniversalProjectReader project = UniversalProjectReader (). Or you can interact directly with the object model exposed by MPXJ to extract data: import jpype import mpxj jpype. process ( 'example.mpp', 'example.mpx' ) jpype. startJVM () from net.sf.mpxj.sample import MpxjConvert MpxjConvert (). Utilities provided by MPXJ for tasks like file format conversion: import jpype import mpxj jpype. You can find details of the JavaĬlasses and methods in the Javadocs, and more general documentationĪfter installing this package you can either work with some of the simple built-in This Python package usesĪccess from Python to the MPXJ library.

MPXJ is a Java library which allows a variety of projectįile formats and databases to be read and written.
