Hmm, interesting. That string "1133.8582677165355" is not a valid value for that XML attribute according to the XML Schema. https://github.com/python-openxml/python-docx/blob/master/ref/xsd/shared-commonSimpleTypes.xsd#L104

But I expect Word accepts it. I'll register it here as something to accommodate. In the meantime you'll need to work around it somehow. I think I'd be inclined to pro-actively patch that value in my code before trying to access the margins.

You can access the w:sectPr element from Section._sectPr and you XPath and lxml calls from there to find and fix any of those before calling the margin attributes.

"You can access the w:sectPr element from Section._sectPr and you XPath and lxml calls from there to find and fix any of those before calling the margin attributes." - This is a little advanced for a non programmer like me, lol

I did get into your code and put the str_value variable inside a float() function, nested inside a round() function, nested inside the int() function where you were directly passing str_value as its argument. So it looks like
return Twips(int(round(float(str_value))))

I would however like to know how to fix my document margins float values in code without having to hack yours, haha

Fixed in v1.1.1 circa Apr 30, 2024.
