[Python] Add header and footer to a second DOCX only that would eventually be appended to a...

I have two DOCX files - ID-1.docx and ID-2.docx - ID-1 being a cover page and ID-2 being the content. ID-2 doesn't have a header and footer and I need the header and footer only in ID-2. Post which I merge the 2 DOCXs.

$doc1 = escapeshellarg(DOCX_PATH."$ID-1.docx");
$doc2 = escapeshellarg(DOCX_PATH."$ID-2.docx");
$output = escapeshellarg(DOCX_PATH."$ID.docx");

$cmd = PYTHON." ".ABS_PATH."merge_docs.py $doc1 $doc2 $output 2>&1";
exec($cmd, $outputLines, $returnCode);


How do I add header and footer to ID-2 only ? I think python's docx capabilities are bette than PhpWord ?

merge_docx.py :

import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=UserWarning, module="docxcompose")

import sys
from docx import Document
from docxcompose.composer import Composer
import os

doc1_path = sys.argv[1]
doc2_path = sys.argv[2]
output_path = sys.argv[3]

doc1 = Document(doc1_path)
doc2 = Document(doc2_path)

composer = Composer(doc1)
composer.append(doc2)
composer.save(output_path)
