从 python 中的 word 文件读取

Question

How can I read from a word (docx) file in python. I can read from a txt file but can not do the same for MS Office word document. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

There are a couple of packages that let you do this. Check

1. python-docx .

2. docx2txt (note that it does not seem to work with .doc ). As per this , it seems to get more info than python-docx. From original documentation:

import docx2txt

# extract text
text = docx2txt.process("file.docx")

# extract text and write images in /tmp/img_dir
text = docx2txt.process("file.docx", "/tmp/img_dir") 

3. textract (which works via docx2txt ).

4. Since .docx files are simply .zip files with a changed extension, this shows how to access the contents. This is a significant difference with .doc files, and the reason why some (or all) of the above do not work with .doc s. In this case, you would likely have to convert doc -> docx first. antiword is an option.

Answer 2

See this library that allows for reading docx files https://python-docx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

You should use the python-docx library available on PyPi. Then you can use the following

doc = docx.Document('myfile.docx')
allText = []
for docpara in doc.paragraphs:
    allText.append(docpara.text)
