How to change style of hyperlinks in existing document, especially font size and name

Question

I would like to stick with python-docx library. But if there are other ways would love to hear them.

Currently i'm using this snippet for changing style in document, but links are no affected. Should I recreate them?

from docx import Document
from docx.shared import Pt

document = Document("existing file.docx")

for paragraph in document.paragraphs:
    # paragraph.style = document.styles['Normal']
    for run in paragraph.runs:
        run.font.name = 'Arial'
        run.font.size = Pt(10)

Snippet is from this answer.

Answer 1

from docx.oxml.shared import qn

This function is copy-paste from here. Because paragraph.runs is not returning Run instances for hyperlinks childrens.

def getParagraphRuns(paragraph):
    def _get(node, parent):
        for child in node:
            if child.tag == qn('w:r'):
                yield Run(child, parent)
            if child.tag == qn('w:hyperlink'):
                yield from _get(child, parent)
    return list(_get(paragraph._element, paragraph))

If you want to get sequence of Run instances only for hyperlinks use this function instead.

def getHyperlinksRuns(paragraph):
    def _get(node, parent):
        for child in node:
            if child.tag == qn('w:hyperlink'):
                yield from returnRun(child, parent)
    def returnRun(node, parent):
        for child in node:
            if child.tag == qn('w:r'):
                yield Run(child, parent)
    return list(_get(paragraph._element, paragraph))

and voila

for p in document.paragraphs:
    runs = getParagraphRuns(p) 
    # runs = getHyperlinksRuns(p)
    for run in runs:
        run.font.name = 'Arial'
        run.font.size = Pt(10)
