Read docx document

The package used is python-docx

sudo pip install python-docx

#encoding:utf8 
import docx 
doc = docx.Document('test.docx') 
docText = '\n'.join([paragraph.text for paragraph in doc.paragraphs]) 
#print(docText)

The python-docx package cannot process doc documents. To read the contents of a doc document, you need to use the antiword tool.

1. Go to the website to download antiword.

2. After downloading, unzip it and run the make and make install commands in sequence in the decompressed folder.

#encoding:utf8 
import subprocess 
word = 'test.doc' 
output = subprocess.check_output(['antiword',word]) 
print(output)
