In addition DOC file itself is a compressed file, the actual document content is XML structure, you can use unzip decompression:

# Unzip Test.docx
Archive:test.docx
Inflating: _rels/.rels
Inflating:word/settings.xml
Inflating:word/_rels/document.xml.rels
Inflating:word/fonttable.xml
Inflating:word/styles.xml
Inflating:word/document.xml
Inflating:docprops/app.xml
Inflating:docprops/core.xml
Inflating: [Content_types].xml
# ls
[Content_types].xml docprops _rels Test.docx Word

# ls
Document.xml fonttable.xml _rels settings.xml styles.xml

# Cat Document.xml

You can use ZipFile to extract directly without using a ready-made library:

Import ZipFile

Document = ZipFile. ZipFile (' Test.docx ')
Xml_content = Document.read (' Word/document.xml ')
reparsed = minidom.parsestring (xml_content)
Print Reparsed.toprettyxml (indent= "", encoding= "Utf-8")
