docx module alternatives

[Clunk_Head]

I'm reading all of the text from a word document(docx).
Until upgrading to 3.8 the docx module has done a fine job, but today I ran into a compound issue.

Error:
    import docx
  File "C:\Program Files\Python38\lib\site-packages\docx.py", line 30, in <module>
    from exceptions import PendingDeprecationWarning
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'exceptions'

So, I have questions:
What is the most modern module for reading docx? Where can I find a good example of reading a word doc line by line?
Why would my 3.8 installation not have the exceptions module?

Ah, found it myself.
https://pypi.org/project/python-docx/ appears to be the answer.
Is this the best module to go with?
