pip install -U llama-index-readers-file

I’m surprised you had this issue, unless you only installed core

@jiyzhang please create a fresh venv and try again

I created a new env with conda and didn’t encounter this issue again. thanks

Based on the error message you provided, it seems like the DocxReader class cannot be found in the llama_index.readers.file module. This could be due to a change in the import structure in the LlamaIndex v0.10.4 update.

The DocxReader class might have been moved to a different module or renamed. You suggested that the import should be written as “from llama_index.readers.file.docs import DocxReader”. This could be correct if the DocxReader class was moved to the docs module in the llama_index.readers.file package.

To confirm this, you can check the source code of the llama_index.readers.file package in the LlamaIndex repository. If the DocxReader class is indeed in the docs module, you should update your import statement accordingly.

However, if you can’t find the DocxReader class in the docs module or anywhere else in the llama_index.readers.file package, it’s possible that the class was removed or renamed in the v0.10.4 update. In this case, you should check the release notes or the migration guide for v0.10.4 to see if there are any notes about changes to the DocxReader class.

If you’re still having trouble, please provide more information about your environment (e.g., Python version, operating system) and any other relevant details about your setup. This will help me better understand the issue and provide a more accurate solution.

Same here

@wb200 can you try with a fresh venv?

For example, I do
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install llama-index
And then it works for me

Haven’t tried that yet as I’m used to conda env system. And it doesn’t seem to work there.
