Microsoft Word documents of the .docx format can be created or changed using python-docx 3rd party module.
The .doc format can be worked with on Windows using PyWin32 via COM interface, provided Word is installed. An example:
importwin32com.client wordapp = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("Word.Application") # wordapp.Visible = False worddoc = wordapp.Documents.Open(r"C:\MyFile.doc") wdFormatHTML = 8 worddoc.SaveAs(r"C:\MyFile.html", FileFormat=wdFormatHTML) worddoc.ActiveWindow.Close() # wordapp.Application.Quit(-1) - No need to quit; Word quits when its last window is closed
