Is it possible to read and write Word (2003 and 2007) files in Python without using a COM object?
I know that I can:
f = open('c:\file.doc', 'w') f.write(text) f.close()
but Word will read it as an HTML file not a native .doc file.

I’d look into IronPython which intrinsically has access to windows/office APIs because it runs on .NET runtime.
