1. There is wvlib, under the GPL, compiles like a charm, available at

http://www.wvware.com

It is used within AbiWord (www.abisource.com) for Word import, and from what 
was called MSWordView to convert .doc into .html.

2. Otherwise, you can try to rewrite in Python <grin> the OLE::Storage 
module from Perl.

3. Or you can use the format docs. The wv site has pointers and instructions 
to get'em. 

HTH
