What I want to do is just get all content of the document and save it
with some other form values such as name, surname, birthdate etc.
We can do that for docx format because their format is zip as you
said.
import zipfile, re
docx = zipfile.ZipFile('/path/to/file/mydocument.docx')
content = docx.read('word/document.xml')
cleaned = re.sub('<(.|\n)*?>','',content)
print cleaned
works with docx files but as you know it is not possible to get all
word files with docx format. Using google docs api seems only solution
for now. However, I am suspicious about Brandon's saying. It might
take too long to finish converting and getting content.
