Question posted in 
I’m trying to install python-docx on CentOS 7 – i’ve installed it fine on the vagrant box running CentOS 7 but on my live cpanel server i’m just getting all the following issues:
pip install python-docx
DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip, can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support

I’m not used to using python all that much or PIP so i really have no idea what these errors mean, please could someone help out?

You can try this before
There is a known problem with a prior version of
setuptools. If you upgrade that this should go away: How to use PIP to install python-docx?
