title: Python & MS Word: Convert .doc to .docx?
body: <p>I found several questions that were similar to mine, but none of the answers came close to what I need.</p>
  
  <p>Specifications: I'm working with Python 3 and do not have MS Word. My programming machine is running OS X and cloud machine is linux/ubuntu too. </p>
  
  <p>I'm using <code>python-docx</code> to extract values from a <code>.doc</code> file that is sent to me nightly. However, <code>python-docx</code> only works with <code>.docx</code> files, so I need to convert the file to that extension first. </p>
  
  <p>So, I've got a <code>.doc</code> file that I need to convert to <code>.docx</code>. This script might have to run in the cloud so I can't install any kind of Office or Office-like software. Can this be done?</p>
