Can't process docx files even though docx2txt is installed

[ShvetsIvan]

Hello,

I am trying to use textract to do the obvious with docx files in a AWS Lambda using python. Textract library is included in the package, as is the dependency - docx2txt. I try getting the text out of the file, but still getting the ExtensionNotSupported stating that docx is not supported. I tried putting the doc2txt library in the parsers folder too - didn't help.

Using:

• Textract version 1.6.3
• Python version 3.11
• AWS Lambda function

Is the file definitely a docx file and not a .doc file masquerading as one? I find there can be issues with the following scenarios:

1. A .docx file is given a .doc extension
2. A .doc file is given a .docx extension
