multiple .doc to .docx file conversion using python

I prefer to use the glob module for tasks like that. Put this in a file doc2docx.py. To make it executable, set chmod +x. And optionally put that file in your $PATH as well, to make it available "everywhere".

#!/usr/bin/env python

import glob
import subprocess

for doc in glob.iglob("*.doc"):
    subprocess.call(['soffice', '--headless', '--convert-to', 'docx', doc])

Though ideally you'd leave the expansion to the shell itself, and call doc2docx.py with the files as arguments, like doc2docx.py *.doc:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import subprocess
import sys

if len(sys.argv) < 2:
    sys.stderr.write("SYNOPSIS: %s file1 [file2] ...\n"%sys.argv[0])

for doc in sys.argv[1:]:
    subprocess.call(['soffice', '--headless', '--convert-to', 'docx', doc])

As requested by @pyd, to output to a target directory myoutputdir use:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import subprocess
import sys

if len(sys.argv) < 2:
    sys.stderr.write("SYNOPSIS: %s file1 [file2] ...\n"%sys.argv[0])

for doc in sys.argv[1:]:
    subprocess.call(['soffice', '--headless', '--convert-to', 'docx', '--outdir', 'myoutputdir', doc])

Here is a solution that worked for me. The other solutions proposed did not work on my Windows 10 machine using Python 3.

from glob import glob
import re
import os
import win32com.client as win32
from win32com.client import constants

# Create list of paths to .doc files
paths = glob('C:\\path\\to\\doc\\files\\**\\*.doc', recursive=True)

def save_as_docx(path):
    # Opening MS Word
    word = win32.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Word.Application')
    doc = word.Documents.Open(path)
    doc.Activate ()

    # Rename path with .docx
    new_file_abs = os.path.abspath(path)
    new_file_abs = re.sub(r'\.\w+$', '.docx', new_file_abs)

    # Save and Close
    word.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(
        new_file_abs, FileFormat=constants.wdFormatXMLDocument
    )
    doc.Close(False)

for path in paths:
    save_as_docx(path)

Use os.path.join to specify the correct directory.

import os, subprocess

main_dir = os.path.join('/', 'Users', 'username', 'Desktop', 'foldername')

for filename in os.listdir(main_dir):
    if filename.endswith('.doc'):
        print filename
        subprocess.call(['soffice', '--headless', '--convert-to', 'docx', filename])

If you don't like to rely on sub-process calls, here is the version with COM client. It is useful if you are targeting windows users without LibreOffice installed.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import glob
import win32com.client

word = win32com.client.Dispatch("Word.Application")
word.visible = 0

for i, doc in enumerate(glob.iglob("*.doc")):
    in_file = os.path.abspath(doc)
    wb = word.Documents.Open(in_file)
    out_file = os.path.abspath("out{}.docx".format(i))
    wb.SaveAs2(out_file, FileFormat=16) # file format for docx
    wb.Close()

word.Quit()
