OLE Compound Documents in Python

Question

how would you parse a Microsoft OLE compound document using Python?

Edit: Sorry, I forgot to say that I need write support too.. In short, I have an OLE compound file that I have to read, modify a bit and write back to disk (it's a file made with a CAD application)

Answer 1

Just found OleFileIO_PL, but it doesn't have write support.. :/ and as of version 0.40 (2014) it has write support.

Edit: Looks like there's a way (though Windows-only) that supports writing too.. The pywin32 extensions (StgOpenStorage function and related)
