Docx library does not recognize Document method

Question

I am trying to use the docx library, but I am getting this error:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Document'

This is my code:

import docx
document = docx.Document('file.docx')

What's happening? I have already used the document on other computers. I installed the docx library using pip:

pip install docx

your confusing package docx

with package python-docx

.

pip install python-docx


>>> import docx
>>> docx.Document
<class 'docx.api.Document'>

But you're right, naming is a problem here.
