python-docx has a very simple object model: Document -* Paragraph -* Run, and is very easy to work with.

However there's one showstopper issue: in some cases consequent runs (e.g. single words) do not contain any whitespace, yet the paragraph.text attribute contains whitespace between said runs.

This is a major headache, because I have to concatenate a subset of runs based on their color and style properties, and filter out the rest. Because of the issue, some words get crammed together.

I tried inserting spaces and then removing redundant whitespace at the end, but it proved to be a very error prone approach.

Has anyone stumbled upon this? Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
