Perhaps. OpenOffice can read and write MS office files, and OpenOffice
has an API (called UNO for Universal Network Objects) which has a Python
binding (called the Python-UNO bridge). This might (eventually) get you
what you want.

Here's a URL for it:
http://udk.openoffice.org/python/python-bridge.html

Good luck,

You can automate MS Office using the python win32 com extensions of Mark
Hammond. They come bundled with the active-state python build, or can be
obtained separately.

The Pywin32 package (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/)
wraps the interfaces used to read and write document properties.
Specifically, you can use pythoncom.StgOpenStorage to retrieve
an IPropertySetStorage interface.
