return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x81 in position
1020: character maps to




I have this message when I try to read a word document program docx or doc that has a table in it. For the docs without the table, it does not throw this error. This is the program:



with open('Testy.docx') as file:
contents = file.read()
a1 = "mother"
a2 = "father"
a3 = "sister"
a4 = "brother"
if a1 in contents:
print ('best in the world')
if a2 in contents:
print("tough but fair")
if a3 in contents:
print('awesome')
if a4 in contents:
print("punchbag")
else:
print ('nothing found')


Any help woud be super appreciated
