I work with python-docx and docx in my PC, but when I've cloned the project to Google Cloud, the problems arose. Both docx and python-docx are installed there:
igorsavinkin555@cloudshell:~/corrections-msword (coral-heuristic-5610)$ pip install docx --user
Requirement already satisfied: docx in /home/igorsavinkin555/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (0.2.4)
Requirement already satisfied: lxml in /home/igorsavinkin555/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from docx) (4.2.4)
Requirement already satisfied: Pillow>=2.0 in /home/igorsavinkin555/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from docx) (5.2.0)
igorsavinkin555@cloudshell:~/corrections-msword (coral-heuristic-215610)$ pip install python-docx --user
Requirement already satisfied: python-docx in /home/igorsavinkin555/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (0.8.7)
Requirement already satisfied: lxml>=2.3.2 in /home/igorsavinkin555/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from python-docx) (4.2.4)
igorsavinkin555@cloudshell:~/corrections-msword (coral-heuristic-215610)$
Problem with docx.Document:

Update
The installing of those 3-d party libraries into project lib folder has benefited, now these packages in project/lib folder. Yet, now the error in lxml library:

By the way, this was a right way since:
You can install additional software packages on the Coogle Cloud Shell virtual machine instance but the installation will not persist after the instance terminates unless you install the software in your $HOME directory (source).
