OO.org has UNO, which is available through Java, OO Basic, MS OLE and
the CLI.  There's supposedly Python bindings too.  To do what you want,
I expect you'll need some bindings to UNO, which don't exist ATM, but
CamlIDL might get you to OLE easy enough (never used it, tho), or some
of the new caml-java might get you through the java route.  A weak
binding might not take that much work to write.
