I can't find any documentation describing how to read docx files with python. Does anyone have an example they would supply please?

path = 'C:\'
fn = 'file.docx'

from win32com import client

    word = client.Dispatch("Word.Application")

    def printWordDocument(filename):

        word.Documents.Open(filename)
        word.ActiveDocument.PrintOut()
        time.sleep(2)
        word.ActiveDocument.Close()

    word.Quit()
