Thanks Lennart. I think that's the issue - although I originally wrote the
app, the PyPI package is owned by 'jiaaro' according to
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/docx/0.1.2.

I think 'jiaaro' was some kind user who decided that the package was useful
and put it on the chosseshop - but alas that was a long time ago and he
hasn't kept up to date with github.

How can I change the owner?
