RuntimeError: pStyle: NormalWeb about docx2md

I got the same error following this thread. I pulled the repo and tried a change to setup.py and it worked.
I changed this line:
readme = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "README.rst")
to
readme = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "README.md")

Not sure if that'll help everyone, but it resolved the utf-8 decode error above.

Dear all,

I tested a hotfix at the line 198 of converter.py , by replacing
style[0]=="a"
by
isinstance(style[0], str)
and the md file is correctly generated.

Cheers,
converter.py.patch

Hey there -

I ran into a similar issue but with a Runtime Error: pStyle: ListParagraph. I tried to install the repo you posted in this thread but got an error with that.

Thank you for the report.
The above messages seemds to show that pip tried to process README-jp.md and could not handle it on your environment.
I rename README-jp.md to jp-README.md and apprecieate if you could try again.
